“Karma is where you are right now...Take a seat”

There are a few things I live by that help me put life into perspective. The one thing I know for sure is that life happens. It happens to me and it happens to you. It happens to us every second of every minute and every minute of the hour. It’s happening all around us and it’s happening regardless of whether we acknowledge it or not. Life happens and shit happens. I also believe in Karma. I’ve learned that what goes around comes around. And that the universe is always telling you something. If there is something you need to know or aren’t sure of start paying attention to what’s around you. It will come to you.

“How people treat you, is there karma. How you react, is yours!” This is also true. We are all defined by our actions. Our thoughts become actions, our actions define character, and that’s how we determine our future. It’s always better to own your thoughts and your actions. Owning allows you to grow which then allows you to establish yourself. Owning is being honest with yourself and others. Own you’re past; own your present so that you can own your future. Taking it upon you to teach someone else a lesson on the basis of karma is not what karma is about. You got yours, and they will get theirs too. You don’t get to determine when. That’s what people don’t get about “how you react, is yours”. Another thing about karma is that “Karma is where you are right now...Take a seat”. Karma is omnipresent. It exists everywhere, all the time, and all at once. Karma is life-  life that happens all the time. Karma is every perceived action, every thought, every emotion, every feeling, every gesture and being. This is why you have to “be careful of who you pretend to be, because you are what you pretend to be”. Don’t deceive yourself when you’re pretending or saying that you’re pretending. You are you, be you.

“Forget those in your past....there is a reason why they never made it to the future...” Like I said, life happens. Similar to life, situations happen and people happen. The more you hold on to, the harder it is for you to grow. The more you carry, the heavier it is to fly. Pack light and enjoy your flight. It happened to you. People happened to you. Things happened to you. It all happened to you, we were all there, we all saw it, and we felt for you, now own it and let it go. Remember it’s done and it’s not happening anymore.

I’ve also learned to “never look down on a person, unless you are picking them up”. It could have been me and it could have been you. No one likes to be down there. “I am not perfect, and I don’t live to be. But before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean” You and I know this because we’ve been there too. It sucks. Don’t judge it unless you want to be judged. This is why you have to “watch whose toes you step on today because they may belong to the ass you need to kiss tomorrow”. This is the truth. It is the only truth I know. I’m learning to live by it.
