To be successful in life, you have to believe in karma, it forges integrity.
Recognized in age old teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism, karma is the spiritual principle of cause and effect. Not much different from Newton’s Law, ‘every action must have an equal and opposite reaction’. Whenever we speak or act we initiate a force that will react accordingly. Simply put, ‘getting what you give’, or, as my grandmother used to say “You reap what you sow!”
This story is meant to bring some focus to good karmic living, and I hope by doing so I become more enlightened, and you, too. I researched the laws of this principal, and I must say I really like the below list! If we can all try to live by these few moral laws, we will have propagated a surge towards the return of decency and diplomacy in our society.
- Become a thankful person.
- Meet each person you encounter with honesty.
- Volunteer or be in service to others.
- Take care of the lonely and forgotten people, old and young.
- Stop malicious gossiping.
- Spread light and positivity wherever you go.
So, folks, in a quest to better our world and gain some better karma for yourselves, begin with this thought:
Each Day, One Good Deed.
“Thoughts lead us to our purpose; our purpose put us in action; our actions form habits; our habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny.”
