   Which means Do your duty and do not wish for fruitful outcomes, Enjoy the journey itself.
   In our day to day life we face these situations where we overthink a scenario and forget to enjoy the process.
   We should just focus on our duty and do our best, rest all become best. What is destined for us will come to us if we are on right path.
   
   
2. Everything happens because of some reason
   Nothing in this world is happening without any context, there is always a reason behind everything that is happening with or around us. We need to look for the greater cause and move on with life.
   
   
3. Control your Rage
   Anger leads to clouding of judgment, which results in bewilderment of the memory. When the memory is bewildered, the intellect gets destroyed; and when the intellect is destroyed, one is ruined.Anger affects you capability of judgement; in turn memory and intellect. Without intellect, a decision making gets affected. One who can control his anger is capable of controlling others.

   Ever wondered why among all other gods only Krishna used a musical instrument - a flute. Because, that's a way of educating others to follow their passion.
   Lord Krishna, with a country to rule, a war to fight, demons to conquer and through various other commitments, still managed to inculcate the music he loved into his life. He never let his passion for music take a back seat on account of his commitments. He enjoyed playing his flute, mesmerizing those around him with lively tunes.
   
   
5. Be a Feminist when required

   Remember how Krishna stood for Draupadi when the Kauravas tried to violate her?
   Draupadi was stripped off her clothes and humiliated in front of the entire court. Her own husbands thought of her as a property they have lost in a game and didn’t move a muscle to protest. It was Krishna who stepped into the scene and presented her with a saree.
   You must stand up and revolt whenever you see women being objectified, used as commodities or being violated.
   The lesson is, it was not because he wanted to impress Draupadi. He acted so as to defend a woman’s dignity. He was acknowledged for his active involvement in defending women’s rights and that’s probably why he continues to reside in the hearts of women till date.
