“It is not your business to succeed, but to do right; when you have done so, the rest lies with God”
— C. S. Lewis

Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that your main job is to try to do the right thing, not to worry about whether you will be successful or not. Imagine you are a student taking a difficult exam. Your responsibility is to study hard and do your best on the test. Whether you get a top grade or not is something you can't control completely; it depends on other factors as well. In life, focus on making good and honest choices, because that's what you can control. The outcome or results are out of your hands and left up to a higher power or fate. If you always act with integrity and do your best, you can feel at peace even if things don't always go your way.
