How to deal with future ? How to stop worrying and start refocussing? Generally these big questions can be thrown into a dust bin if they are about trifle things. Little things' certainty or predictability is of very less concern. But these questions take huge weight when your future has a one big decisive moment. I m going to attempt one of the toughest competitive exams in India this October. I left my previous job. So this CAT result is capable of carrying huge decisive potential. Worst and good results produce two different extremes of my future. So these thoughts haunt me daily. What if I m not gonna make it ? How will I receive that scenario ?
I remember some things from the book Notes from the underground by Fyodor Dostovesky. Man works hard and strives for an object but when he attains it , he doesn't have the same respect for it. What he likes is the process of getting it ? Surely its a deep thought. But consciously if I m gonna discard the object which I strived for , whats the point of striving hard then ?
There is a quote : Love the process not the outcome. How to love the process without thinking about the object ? Or outcome ?
Just watched the movie Gravity, there is a dialogue which had a magic effect on me. At one moment the character in film says "Two possibilities: one I m gonna make it to the earth , Two I will get burned in this... Either way IT WILL BE HELL OF A RIDE."
Enjoying the ride is the analogy for loving the process, I guess.
So sit back Raeez, enjoy your ride till your one shot decisive day arrives, whether you make it or not , it will be a good ride. Be strong as lady fortuna won't be always on your side buddy. Alright alright !
