Life is big, and long. The exams you give when you pass out from high school seems like such a door that won't open without proper results on your efforts.

Well guess what

You can not score well in those, and the world wouldn't shake. Your world wouldn't shake. You can cry in your bed for hours on end, but when you wake up, you will know how your life will be.

Maybe you have plans. But most of all plans we make don't take its course exactly how it's planned. We are young, and our main goal is to be the person our ten-year-old selves would need.

Life is messed up. And it will throw curveballs. But no matter what you do, the universe will conspire to make your dreams come true.

And it isn't about the results you get, but the effort you put into it. I can see you're working hard. I can see you're stressed and terrified.

YOU WILL MAKE IT.

I know it. Just as I know that whatever happens in that exam hall, I will be fine. I will do what I can, and live with what I can't. It's not the end of the world. Not at all.

“I don’t understand working for hours and hours on things you are not passionate about and learning things you don’t have the dedication to learn ever going to help in bringing happiness in the future.”

- I always hear this.

And I understand what you mean. Let me offer you a different perspective. Think about why you’re spending such hours working on something you really do NOT want to work on. You’ll find that the outcome, or the goal is something you want in the future. All the difficulties and obstacles are a part of the journey to the pedestal you envision yourself upon. If you don’t work on these things, you don’t get the goal you’ve struggled for for so long.

Now, if you find that at the end of it all, you’re unhappy and you think all these years of work has gone to waste, you’re horribly wrong. Everything you do, whatever it is, has it’s purpose and uses. Finding happiness is a journey that procrastination stops. When you don’t procrastinate and put in the hours and work yourself crazy and exhaust yourself from the difficult and flawed societal framework and live in the moment and focus on now for the future, you’re getting one step closer to the finish line of a really long marathon.
