What Goes Around Comes Back Around

What goes around comes around. Right?

Alan Watts in his talk ‘The Law of Karma’ states that there is a distinction between what we do and what happens to us. If we consider a catastrophe and think this is our Karma then we are thinking wrong. What happens to us is what we do and everything we give and we receive is exactly what we need. Even when it doesn’t feel like it.

Judith Johnson in her article ‘What is Karma and how does it work’ also states that people often think of Karma as a form of punishment especially when something terrible happens. However, this way of thinking, results in us victimizing ourselves and believing that we have no power over our actions.  

Everything happens for a reason even if we cannot see what the reason is. 
What happens to us is what we need and our decisions and mistakes are what make us human. 
No one is perfect and people trying to convince us they are, are only fooling themselves. 

We need to remind ourselves, that when one door closes another one opens and amazing opportunities are waiting to be discovered. 

Letting go of what ‘destroys’ us is an amazing opportunity to hold on to things that help us grow.

It is better to have fought and lost instead of never trying at all. It is better to have loved and lost instead of never loving at all. At the end of the day, we always receive what we give!
