Whatever happened for the good. Whatever is happening is happening for the good and whatever will happen, will happen for the good.
When you are sulking about anything, forget it soon. If anything does not go well, except that fact that it was not meant to go smoothly. There must be a reason for your bad phase. Admit it that it is just a passing phase. Both for a bad time and a good time there has to be a reason behind it. It is a cyclic process. Since you have no control over the future, live it to the fullest.

You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work.
The message that Bhagavad Gita gives us is that only do your work. Never think of the reward. Presently, we only hanker after money, or lavish car or a posh flat. We are so ambition oriented that we never dare to look at the consequences of the action. Most of the time people are in pain because their expectations are not met. Once you stop expecting, you live a peaceful life.

Lust, anger and greed are the three gates to self-destructive hell.
To speak in Sanskrit, Kama, krodh and lobh are the three things that you should never look at. They do you no good. Those who crave for sex without any reason are called a pervert. The angrier you are, the more will you be drawn away from people. Thirdly, when you are too greedy nothing or nobody can satisfy you. So, you should be happy with whatever you have. Excess of anything is not good.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.
Know that you are made in the way you think yourself to be. The thoughts that you have in mid give shape to your personality. The more negative thoughts you allow in your mind, you tend to be a negative minded person. When you are not prepared for anything, it is for sure that you will be nervous. But that’s not the end.
