Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will be more mindful of my actions and live a more mindful life."

 

 

"What goes around, comes around."  "You get what you give."  "You reap what you sow."  "Every dog will have his day."  "You make your bed, you lay in it."  "Karma is a bitch." 

 

All of these represent the same thing:  that our actions follow us and at some point in time, we are held accountable for our actions.

 

Knowing this is true (it is true), it should either motivate us or inspire us to live more mindfully, to be more aware of how our actions impact our overall life experience.

 

Karma is about balance, learning lessons, and making progress on our chosen paths.  Think of it as a see-saw.  On one side there is an action, and in order for balance to occur, an action of the same weight must be placed on the other side.  If one side becomes out of balance because it is too heavy (wrong action), then in order for balance to be reestablished, it must be righted; thus, we must learn that what we had done, brings negative consequences.  We must learn by being in the same position so as to cultivate knowledge and compassion.

 

Karma is not a punishment system, oh, no, it is not, so don't think of it in those terms.  Karma is a way to give us the opportunity to learn from the human experience, to make us aware, to make us accountable for all of our actions, not just our mistakes.

 

Appropriate action results in appropriate action.  Inappropriate action results in consequences. 

 

So, my dear friends, give more thought to how your actions (and thoughts) impact your overall human experience.  Work toward trying to take right action more often than not.  Embrace the opportunity to live an untangled, productive, compassionate life.

 

In Love and Light-Always,
