Oh That Thing Called Karma

By Evan Sanders


Never underestimate even the tiniest of actions. They are tiny drops of water, or maybe even, small sparks of flame that may either build your life or set the whole thing ablaze. I have been there. I have really been there. 5 years ago, way back, my life was set aflame and that was all as a result of a karma build of negative actions over a period of time. Ignoring the little things, attacking inward and outward, letting agony seethe inside of me and run my life. Oh yes I remember that night well, the night where the flames colored the sky. I burnt down. I burnt to ashes.

Every day, we are presented with scenarios in which we can add to our karma or subtract from it.

It's never actually the enormous life events that define us. Yes, of course, they have got a major part to play, but it actually comes down to the little things, the ins and outs details that many folks ignore because they believe they are irrelevant. The more and more I dive into life the more I begin to understand that everything is moving, constantly changing, made from energy...and your actions in this moment have the ability to send ripples through space that you can not even most likely begin to understand the true power of.

For an extended period of time, there developed this gap between me and others because of an inherent distrust in myself - not them. This gap was manufactured through fear, through innate anxiety, and through a total non-understanding of what I was born to do and be way down inside. So I would avoid scenarios and others, or on the flip side, purposefully spend most of my time attending to others so I could ignore targeting myself.

You know that karma I am talking about? Well, it does not turn out well when you are coming from a place of fear.

There's great beauty in this life, but you can definitely miss it if you are spending lots of time thinking in the future. You can miss the great smiles folk give you and how incredibly superb they are. You can lose out on how incredibly relaxed it is to sit out on your porch closing your eyes and just listening to all the sounds around you. These are thought to be the little details by many, but to me, these are the drivers of my life...these moments are my inspiration.

Everything around us is living and moving, and to think for an instant that just because the ground you are standing on is solid basically makes it dead, you my friend are absolutely wrong. It's all moving energy. It's all living...and it all matters.

Every action has a result. Each specific action has a counter-reaction to it. These are the laws of life that we live by and these are giant forces at play. I believe what we do not quite yet understand is how much our actions actually do effect others, the people surrounding us, and the rest of the world and beyond. We haven't seemed to quite see how different we make the world each day by inspiring someone or lending a bit of help to an individual in need. We do not see the ripple consequences of our smile on someones life, disposition, and perception of the world.

All these tiny actions that you take each and every day are a part of karma.

So as time is going on, I tap into my actions as much as I can and and more and can feel the landscape changing as I consciously make my choices. This change in my mentality, which came through my amazing coaches coaches stretching of my mind, has allowed me to let go of what injures me and to breath life and love into each single moment that I have.

Always come back to your breath. Come back. Come back. Come back. If your intelligence starts to roam, come back. If you start to hurt, come back. Over the course of time you'll get better at being in this moment rather than reliving old ones or attempting to go to a place that you can not possibly exist in. Always be coming back. "Come back to me" often you will hear your heart whisper.

Our lives can be put on auto pilot or you can drive this young dog by hand and really get a feel for the outcome of the complexities of every single action you take. There's beauty in that. You don't have to be discouraged by the knowledge that everything you do matters. This may be something that frees you instead of locks you up.

Let that karma build. Keep adding those drops of water into the vessel and over time you'll have filled it.

P.S. Don't be discouraged if you incidentally lit your haystack aflame. Being able to rebuild your entire world just the way you want it to be is among the coolest experiences you'll ever get to have.
