Bhagavad Geeta 16.13

Sanskrit

इदमद्य मया लब्धमिमं प्राप्स्ये मनोरथम्।इदमस्तीदमपि मे भविष्यति पुनर्धनम्।।16.13।।

idam adya mayā labdham imaṁ prāpsye manoratham idam astīdam api me bhaviṣhyati punar dhanam

Meaning

Focus on present effort rather than future outcomes. Attachment to desired results clouds judgment and diminishes performance in the moment.

Translation

'I have gained this today; I will acquire this desired object. This is in hand; and this wealth will also come to me.'
