Here are 5 life learning lessons from Bhagavad Gita which will surely guide you:

Everything happens, it happens for a reason

One should always remember that everything which has happened in the past was for a reason, what is happening in present is for a reason and what will happen in the future is also for a reason. Every action you take, every work you do is always related to a reason. The above-stated lesson emphasizes the continuance of accepting the ups and downs of life. Don't repent of the past or worry about the future. Be optimistic and have faith.

Understand that change is the universal law

The best illustration of the fact that change is the universal law, and nothing is permanent is the example of day turning into the night and into the day again. Nothing is permanent, never expect what you have today will always be there with you. People, surroundings, society everything changes with time. One should always embrace the changes and should always try to accept them.

You are born empty-handed and will go empty-handed

Nothing in this world belongs to me or you. The whole universe and everything which lies in between is of almighty. People tend to get attached to materialistic things so much that they forget that they can not take those things with them to their grave. You should always be satisfied with whatever you have and should always try to do good deeds. There is no use in doing evil things.

Be fearless

Fear is one of the basic emotions that everyone has with them. Fear can be related to anything like it can be for materialistic things and can also be in your mind. Fear in other words is known as the doubts in your ability. Never Shrink in fear, fight to the last, and stand your ground. Being fearless not only helps you to concentrate on your goal but also helps you bring success.
