Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2

Your dharma is your responsibility

akīrtiṁ cāpi bhūtāni kathayiṣyanti te'vyayām saṁbhāvitasya cākīrtir maraṇādatiricyate

People too will remember your everlasting dishonor and to one who has been honored, dishonor is worse than death

You are responsible for everything happening around you.

bhayādraṇāduparataṁ maṁsyante tvāṁ mahārathāḥ yeṣāṁ ca tvaṁ bahumato bhūtvā yāsyasi lāghavam

The great generals will think that you have withdrawn from the battle because you are a coward. You will be looked down upon by those who had thought much of you and your heroism in the past
