Fear Of Not Doing Something Big

The Mindset Diary

Fear of not doing something big in life makes me anxious. Well if you look at the life of Gandhi from his childhood in Africa to India, many things could have happened to him especially when he started raising his voice against powerful people.

When he was fighting for equality in Africa, he didn’t know he would become a great political figure in India. He was only focused on solving the current problem in front of him.

Do you remember how confidently he had written a letter calling all Indians in Africa for a strike and expecting 1000s of Indians to turn up but not even 50 people came.

That didn't make him lose hope because he was more focused on the cause rather than his popularity.

Similarly, when he came to India he was asked what will he do? He said that he didn’t know. He just started focusing on the problems of suffering Indians. Solving one problem at a time for them. That was his only focus.

Your mind will wander in the past and future. You don’t know the future neither you should be greedy for it.

Like Gandhi didn’t know who he would become, neither do you. Just focus on solving the most important problem in front of you to the best of your ability.
