Simple Guide to Boost Your Karma

By Alex Blackwell

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours. – Wayne Dyer

Karma isn’t a gift or a punishment – it’s an action. If you want a peaceful, happy and joy-filled life then kind actions will provide the path there. However, if your actions are selfish, careless or harmful then negative consequences will block the path. Leaving you discontent, unhappy and wanting more.
But you get to choose the path. You get to decide where you walk. Life is a simple give and take – give kindness and take only what belongs to you.

We reap what we sow.
What goes around comes around.
You get what’s coming to you.
Good creates good.

That’s Karma.

Karma is a natural rhythm of cause and effect that vibrates through the universe. It tells you that every thought, word or action carries an energy that affects your present moment. Perhaps the most powerful thing about Karma is it doesn’t judge your past or predict your future; it just gives you more of what you are creating right now.

If you are looking for a happy life, be happy – right now. Do good things for others – right now. Be kind, smile and look for what’s right in the situation – right now. The way to the life you desire is within your control – right now.

That’s Karma.

Here’s a simple guide to help you cultivate more wholesome actions and avoid the harmful ones. Boosting your Karma is a choice. Choose kindness and then watch what happens – right now.
