This past school year, my seniors and I talked a lot about Karma. In one of our conversations, and finally, after 40 plus years of living on this earth, it dawned that Karma Is Not Mysterious.....
Actually, Karma is quite simple, and it goes something like this..Whatever you put into the world, comes right back to you.
If you smile at someone, that person will normally smile back at you...
If you frown at someone, that person will normally frown back at you...
If you are a giver, people will give to you....
If you share, people will share with you....
You get the point?
Oprah once said that we are responsible for what we bring into a room. I love people, and I love to laugh, and this is what I normally bring into a room, and I normally get it back.
Last weekend for my sororities national convention, I stayed in the hotel room with three friends. We would go to bed around 3 or 4 each morning. You know that it is difficult for me to sleep late, plus I was excited about celebrating 100 years of sisterhood and service, so I would wake everyone up around 8:30 full of joy. Because we all went to Tuskegee, one morning, I played our favorite TU song, and of course everyone woke up laughing and talking about how silly I am...KARMA.
I know people who appear hostile and never smile, and they wonder why no one ever speaks to them as they walk the streets, or why people never ask them to go to lunch at work, or why unpleasant things happen to them.....KARMA
I use to go to McDonald's every morning for a cup of coffee before I got the revelation about artificial sweeteners, and I never realized that I did not speak or smile at the people who were working at McDonald's and fixing my coffee in a timely fashion. (You Know Sometimes It's Not Personal, but We are In Our Own World.) Well, one day the worker at McDonald's let me have it. She asked why I never spoke or smiled, and I wondered why when I asked for more napkins or asked for anything else, they would have an attitude....KARMA
I love the favor of God, and I know that the favor of God is all about KARMA!
Recently, I heard my brother-in-law, Pastor Rex Ricks, preach about getting rid of toxic people from our lives. When I need to release someone from my life, I will reach out less or limit my conversations, and guess what? KARMA steps in. The people that I need to release normally give me exactly what I give out; they start to reach out less and limit their conversations with me... KARMA!
It took me quite awhile to understand KARMA, but now I think that I finally have it.
This Thursday, I know for sure that KARMA is not mysterious; it's really simple...
Ohhhhh Child, with age, things are really starting to get easier!
