Your right is to action

Reflect on this shlok

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥


Meaning

You have a right to perform your duty, but not to the fruits of your actions.

Essence

Krishna invites us to release anxiety about results and bring wholehearted attention to our duty.

A life example

A student can focus on studying sincerely each day instead of being consumed by the exam result.
