श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात् । स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेयः परधर्मो भयावहः

Sanskrit

अच्छी तरह आचरणमें लाये हुए दूसरेके धर्मसे गुणोंकी कमीवाला अपना धर्म श्रेष्ठ है। अपने धर्ममें तो मरना भी कल्याणकारक है और दूसरेका धर्म भयको देनेवाला है।

Better is one's own duty, though devoid of merit than the duty of another well discharged. Better is death in one's own duty; the duty of another is fraught with fear (is productive of danger).

Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 3 3.35

Sanskrit: public domain · Hindi tr. Swami Ramsukhdas · English tr. Swami Sivananda

What it means

Better your own imperfect path than another's done perfectly.

Carry it today

Take one small step on your own path today instead of copying someone else's.
