Chapter 18 · Liberation through Renunciation · Krishna said
Bhagavad Gita 18.47 — Your own path is best
श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात्। स्वभावनियतं कर्म कुर्वन्नाप्नोति किल्बिषम् ॥
śreyānsvadharmo viguṇaḥ paradharmātsvanuṣṭhitāt | svabhāvaniyataṃ karma kurvannāpnoti kilbiṣam ||
Meaning
Better is one's own duty, even done imperfectly, than another's duty done well. Doing the work suited to one's own nature, a person does not incur sin.
In today's life
Rather than shine by copying someone else's path, choose work that fits your own nature — even if it feels less perfect at first.
