We’ve all heard that joke.
</p>
<p>
“Son, just focus on your class X boards, high school will be a cakewalk. Then, just focus on your high school studies, the college will be when you get to relax. Later, college is when you have to focus on your career. Once you’re in, everything becomes streamlined….”
</p>
<p>
So it goes, high school to college to career to marriage and kids. A never-ending promise that life will be heavenly just around the next corner.
</p>
<p>
This is a delusion, of course. A carrot and stick policy meant to keep us focused on the task at hand by allowing us to believe in a Utopian (if entirely imaginary) tomorrow.
</p>
<p>
The bitter truth that we do an outstanding job of avoiding is the fact that external peace is little more than a juvenile pipe dream.
</p>
<p>
Today’s struggles will be replaced by tomorrow’s, and reaching a finish line indicates the start of the next race.
</p>
<p>
Once we accept the endless nature of life’s challenges, we are almost invariably hit by existential dread.
</p>
<p>
We fear that we have led our lives committed to a future that we will never reach, and we are mortified at the prospect of spending the rest of our lives doing the same.
</p>
<p>
The solution to this is a simple one: Stop Waiting For The Finish Line. Stop worrying about the destination and let the work you do be its own reward.
</p>
<p>
This is a concept that I believe is at the heart of the Bhagavad Gita.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
“Karmanye Vadhikaraste, Ma Phaleshu Kadachana, Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani”
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Simply put - You have the right to perform your duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions.
</p>
<p>
Imagine how much happier we would be, as a collective species, if we studied Science for intellectual challenges without worrying about what our JEE rank was going to be!
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
If only we learned to find meaning in our day to day life without being busy fretting over the results and rewards of our work.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
All of a sudden, the finish line becomes a natural consequence of the struggle itself, not some life-altering milestone to live and die by.
</p>
<p>
If we find happiness and meaning today, tomorrow ceases to tempt us with the promises of greatness or cripple us with worries of failure.
</p>
<p>
Albert Camus, the Alberian-French philosopher, wrote about Sisyphus, a man condemned by the Gods to roll a boulder up a hill for all eternity.
</p>
<p>
Every day, once he reaches the top of the mountain, the boulder rolls back down, and his struggle starts anew. Camus argues that Sisyphus finds meaning in the act itself, the effort and sweat of labor, the feeling of the dirt underneath his hands.
</p>
<p>
He has stopped caring about the finish line and thus, “We must imagine Sisyphus happy.”
</p>
<p>
This is the thought I want to leave you with today – Stop waiting for others to define your life.
</p>
<p>
Make your own meaning. Find it in what you do, find it in what you believe in, find in the fact that you try.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
There is no greater reward than the knowledge that we are not static but moving forward every day.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Like Sisyphus, we too may be happy.
