The Unspoken Law of Karma

Today's Reminder is: 

"The Unspoken Law of Karma is: 'If you follow a certain course of action almost anything is likely to be realized but some realizations are more likely that others.'  So what is actually going to happen if you do thus and so?"

 Many people do not understand that cause and effect are not necessarily directly chained together. You know -- The punishment must follow crime or reward must follow a good deed. 

If you look around with open eyes you'll notice it rains on the Righteous and the Unworthy. The sun shines on the Bad and the Good. Flowers and fields grow for the Powerful and the Weak. Why would that be so?

Like many laws of nature, reward and punishment fall along a statistical line.  You are less likely to be punished for a good deed than a bad deed. You are more likely to be punished if you do something that deserves punishment. But will you? Look at who you are... look at where you are. Look at what you have done and what you are doing.  

For example: Attempting to free prisoners of an oppressive government by your self is not likely to get you a reward from the oppressive government... and reporting "patriots" to an opressive government might get you a cash reward [and you name on a list somewhere].

Think! How does this plot line usually end? Don't like the potential results? You always have the option to turn around. There is always an opportunity to do thing in a positive way. There are ways to accomplish your goal.

I once knew a man who claimed to be a rodeo clown. His day job was to fire people. He was good at his job. He lied to them. He deceived them. He played his victims and eventually they succumb to his mission. He did his job five days a week and took his pay with a smile. There was no conscience shown in his behavior. No sense of regret. It almost seemed certain he was rewarded for his behavior. Was he? Does it really matter?

In the long term this self proclaimed "clown" will pay for his behavior and his choices... but the important thing is to recognize that the "karmic fate" of another person has nothing to do with you. The Universe can deal with them without your assistance. 

It's not your role [or place] to judge them. If you become a self-proclaimed "avenging angel you fall to the same level as the person that has harmed you and you will pay a price for playing the same evil game as they.

So what is likely to happen? Can you be rewarded for bad behavior? Possibly... in the short term... but don't count on it.

The Litterbox

Today's Reminder is: 

"Life is like a litterbox. It stinks when it is left untended."

Life, like a litterbox, seems to collect  garbage, trash, refuse, left-overs  and toxins from daily use. If you fail to keep your life clean of these "left-overs",  it will eventually  become a toxic place[if it hasn't already!].

Learn to let go of the past: Old feelings, hurts, angers, judgments are just garbage. You don't need them.

Clean the litterbox and have a better life

Serve

Today's Reminder is:

"We serve what we deserve."

Consider this reminder for a moment... break it into thought filled pieces. 

We Serve?
If we serve we are taking action... but to serve also means that we are in the service of "some one or some thing.

What?
What? What is it we serve? Our belief! How do we serve this What? 

We deserve.
What do you deserve? Really?

The interesting thing here for you to consider is: If we change our belief what we deserve changes as well.

It's not a game.

Today's Reminder is: 

"It is not a question whether you win or lose. The question is: Why are you playing the Game at all... or is that Et al?"

Some people are obsessed with "winning". Winning what?Winning at the expense of someone else?  Being better? Being better than who? 

To"play a game" means you must accept the rules. If you assume that others are nothing more that a "game piece" or a "game opponent" then that is what you are -- a game piece or an opponent in someone else's game. 

Yet the meaning of life has nothing to do with a game or winning or losing. If you believe it does then you should reconsider that belief because it is a belief that will limit your opportunities to help others and help your self. 

You must be willing

Today's Reminder is:

"To be loved, you must be willing to be Loved. The same is true for being hated."

 Not feeling loved? Love is something we must accept for it to become part of our life experience. Ask yourself: Am I willing to be loved? Am I willing to accept love? Only you can answer that. If your answer is "yes but..." then look at it again... That but... means that somehow and in some way you are putting a fence between you and being loved. Remove the fence and you open yourself to love.

Do you feel you are hated? Hate is something we feel when we accept the bad things other say to us or do to us. But to feel hated we must feel in some small [or great] way that the hate is justified. You are free not to accept the hate directed at you and you are free to defend yourself against unjustified enmity. You don't have to allow yourself to be bullied or abused. If you are unsure get help.

The Biggest Problem In Your Life

Today's Reminder is: 

"The problems you have with others, are in fact the problems you have not been able to resolve within your own self. The biggest problem in your life more often than not is You."

 How often have you said "If they only would..." or "How can they be so selfish?" or "Why do they act that way?" or even "Why are these evil people in my life?" The answer is you my friend.  The world we see and experience is mostly seen and experienced through the "filter" of our own beliefs. Change your beliefs and the world changes.  

"If only they would..." is actually "If only I could...."

 "How can they be so selfish?"  is actually "How can I be so selfish?

"Why do they act that way?"  is actually "Why do I act this way when I am with them?"

"Why are these evil people in my life?"   is actually "Why do I stay in this place?

Change is always an option. No one is stopping you from making changes in who you are or the way you act or the way you see the world. 

I am not saying that evil people or life threatening health issues can be changed or  suddenly "go away". What you can change is how you see these things in your life. In seeing things differently, you have the opportunity to choose a new path which is more healthy for you. Your problem is your solution: You.
