Karma is Just around the Corner: Better Be Good to Yourself
 |
| Learn to see greatness in every situation |
My Facebook home wall (not my profile wall) was recently bombarded by so many issues about karma from friends (well okay so I also
posted one too just yesterday). Two of my friends posted how people
who did them wrong was getting the bad karma they deserve. Some friends posted
quotes on karma. Others simply posted the pain they felt after karma got back
at them (regarding romantic relationships) and was making them depressed. Among
all the post that was there, one post stood out as this friend started it with Karma is just around the corner….
Karma is indeed just around the
corner and is working on your life this very moment.
We have always understood what
karma is in the saying do unto others
what you want others to do unto you. Actually there’s more to it than what
it says. This message simply means that you have to get yourself accustomed to
looking for positive things even in despairing and stressful situations. Training
yourself to do this gets you programmed to see opportunities to greatness. How
we interact with others is just a part of this process. You must
understand that with every good thing you do to others is actually the result
of practicing seeing greatness. You get a clear view of things making you react
to it positively. The same goes if you only see shortcomings.
Let’s consider Karma as a lab teacher. After discussing
the lessons it’s time to apply it in actual; and just like every class we’ve
attended in school the rule “we make our own grades” still applies in life. Our grades are based in our class
performance. If you listened very well to the lecture and made sure you
assimilated the important information, you’ll definitely perform well in your
lab activities. But if you didn’t, Karma will
instruct you to repeat your experiment with every mistake you make, over and
over and over again, until you get it right. In every failed experiment, you
have to check what you did wrong. You need to relearn the process to see where
you need to make tweaks. Eventually, this will lead to the experiment’s success.
If we look at karma from this point we see that it doesn’t have any bad side;
only good. Karma wants you to see that what you did is wrong and that you must work
your way to making it right – really right!
We are responsible for the choices we make.
The “bad things” that came are actually the result of
how you treated yourself.
This is the real karma.
Learn from it.
If you need to apologize for your
mistake then do it but remember to forgive yourself too. Your decisions are
yours, not someone else’s. Every bad thing you do to others is actually you
causing harm to yourself. Accept your faults even if it’s hard. Learn from
situations, whether they may be good or bad. Always remember to be good to
yourself.

I believe both in good and bad karma. We are the one deciding our karma so we better learn from it and always be good to ourselves and to others.
ReplyDeleteyou reap what you sow ... you get what you gave back ... an eye for an eye ... I believe in that
ReplyDeletei believe in karma - it's basically the golden rule: if you don't want others do such things to you, then don't do it to them in the first place... same with the universe
ReplyDeletewell the law of karma comes to those who misuse it for their own gains at the expense of others. tama, better be good to others than oneself kasi it follow na rin afterwards!
ReplyDeleteit's just like the golden rule - do good to others and others will do good to you; don't do to others what you don't want others do to you...
ReplyDeleteI believe in Karma also, thanks for sharing this
ReplyDeleteyup i believe in karma, it's a universal law...better be good otherwise karma will haunt you to the very ends of the earth...
ReplyDeletei believe in karma so watch out what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteJust try to do any good deed to others including to yourself in any occasion, something good would bounce back sometime in your life. (Good karma)
ReplyDeleteEvil intention for you to gain something good, something evil will eventually get back at you. (Bad karma)
Ahhh! Karma - just beware of our own actions all time.
