🌟 Wisdom Wednesday-3: Focus on your actions without worrying about results

Welcome, Devs, to another episode of 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲! Today, we draw inspiration from one of the most profound teachings in the 𝐁𝐡𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐝 𝐆𝐢𝐭𝐚—a timeless conversation between 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐧𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐫𝐣𝐮𝐧𝐚 in the epic 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐚.

When Arjuna was lost in doubt, torn between duty and fear of consequences, Lord Krishna gave him this invaluable wisdom:

"𝘒𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘦 𝘷𝘢𝘥𝘩𝘪𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦, 𝘮𝘢 𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘩𝘶 𝘬𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘢."
(𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.)
The essence? 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧—𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬.

As Devs, we often chase outcomes:
- A high-paying job 💰
- Landing that dream opportunity 🌟
- Achieving success overnight 🚀

✨ But 𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐧𝐚’𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬—instead of fixating on results, immerse yourself in the 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬:
✅ 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬—Keep learning and refining your craft.
✅ 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞-𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞—Collaborate and grow together.
✅ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲—Share knowledge, help others, and build value.
Success is a byproduct, not the goal.

- Write code because you love solving problems, not just for a paycheck.
- Learn new technologies because they excite you, not just to impress recruiters.
- Contribute to open-source to give back, not just to build a flashy résumé.

When you detach from the outcome and commit fully to the journey, you’ll not only grow as a developer but also find peace and fulfillment in your work.
So, my fellow Devs, let’s embrace this wisdom—focus on our Karma, trust the process, and let success follow naturally.
