How to deal with Heaviness of not achieving anything yet ?

Everyone has written very valid points. Here i would just like to share a 2019 post written by @Neyawn sir. Relevent portion of the post titled " the secret ingredient to last 30 days of prelims+ winning the endgame" is here-

"#1 Stop Asking the BIG Questions

Right now, if your mind is asking the big questions –

  • is it really worth it?
  • Is it worth the pain – giving up on the job I quit,
  • the EOL I took,
  • the person I sacrificed for this,
  • or simply the foundation course I missed[2].

And even if you have not sacrificed anything for it, probably stop thinking about what you will do after getting IAS a year from now [3]. No day dreaming, no asking absurd questions or questions whose answers are not in the format of a) b) c) d)

MCQs are all the questions you need to ask and answer. No questions on what is the meaning of life.

You know what I mean. Right now, we need is action. And effort. Least of all thinking. So stop thinking. Start doing. Stop worrying about things that won’t happen or won’t matter eventually in the first place.

In short, stop those voices in your head."
