In Mahabharata Arjuna fights against the injustice, only to be overcome by sorrow. He fights against his own cousins, teacher, classmates. The sorrow gets most out of him, and thus he tries to give up the war.
Lord Krishna gives him the lesson for the lifetime. Gita consists of 18 chapters with the lessons of life, emotions, ambitions, and everything. Following is the essence of Gita
You should enjoy your work

When we work, we look at the result rather than the process. Work itself must be pleasurable than results. A journey is more important than the destination. Enjoy the process of creation itself.
You have to manage your emotions

In most situations, panic and attachment can be enemies. Bhagavad Gita teaches about how one needs to keep calm and think through to use logic over emotions, even in the worst of times.
You can manage your emotion by doing these things

Gita suggests practicing yoga and selecting the right food. It categorized food into 3 types: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. Sattva (fruits, green vegetables, milk); Rajas (spicy foods and steroids); and Tamas fatty and leftovers.
Don’t try to copy someone else’s life

A warrior might think that a farmer’s life is pleasant and filled with happiness. The farmer might think that a warrior’s life is energetic. Both lives have equal importance in the world. The grass will always look greener on the other side.
Keep your goals intact

When we try to imitate others, we forget what our own goals and dreams are. We try to become a better somebody, even if it is worthless like how we showboat in social media sites
Everyone is worth your equal treatment

Treat everyone as the same. A whole chapter is dedicated to this in Gita. Even to foes, act nice, because that will leave you with lesser guilt and lesser emotional burdens to fight inside you.
Do good for the sake of nothing

Don’t expect anything in return just because you did something good. Gita talks about this in various forms and makes a lot of practical sense than just the morality of it.
Act. Don’t just think

We keep over analyzing things that we forget to act upon it, it is especially common on the knowledgeable. We tend to be comfortable in just analyzing things and talking about it rather than just working on that knowledge.
Keep your duties in check

If you have promised something, then just do it. Don’t over-analyze and use analysis-paralysis as an excuse to achieve great things in life.
There is always a bigger power than the biggest power

According to Gita, the truth will always win, in one way or the other. So, you must keep doing your duty, even though your enemy looks formidable.
