Never underestimate even the smallest of actions. They're small drops of water, or maybe, tiny sparks of flame that may either build your life or set the entire thing on fire. I've been there. I've truly been there. 5 years ago, way back, my whole life was set on fire in the greatest way and that was all as a result of a karma build of negative actions over a period of a long time. Ignoring the little things, attacking inward and outward, letting discomfort seethe inside me and run my life. Oh yes I recall that night well, the night where the flames coloured the sky. I burnt down. I burnt to ashes.
Every day, we are presented with scenarios in which we will add to our karma or deduct from it.
It's never truly the large life events that describe us. Yes, absolutely, they have a major part to play, but it really simmers down to the small things, the nitty gritty details that many folks ignore because they think they are trivial. The more times I dive into life the more that I and deeply start to understand that everything is moving, constantly changing, made of great energy...and your actions in this moment have the capability to send ripples throughout space that you can not even potentially comprehend the strength of.
For some considerable time, there was this significant gap between me and other people because of an inbuilt distrust in myself - not them. This gap was made through fear, through innate hysteria, and through a total non-understanding of what I was intended to do and be deep down inside. So I tended to avoid circumstances and other people, or on the flip side, purposefully spend most of my time attending to others so I could ignore concentrating on myself.
You know that karma that I am talking about? Well, it does not make well when you are actually coming from a place of fear.
There's great beauty in this life, but you can certainly miss it if you start spending lots of time thinking in the future. You can miss the great smiles folks give you and how stupendously amazing they are. You can lose out on how amazingly relaxed it is to sit out on your porch closing your eyes and just listening to all the sounds around you. These are said to be the tiny details by many, but to me, these are the drivers of my life...these moments are my inspiration.
Everything around us is living and respiring, and to think for a second that simply because the ground you are standing on is solid by nature makes it dead, you my friend are absolutely wrong. It's all respiring. It's all living...and it all matters.
Each specific action has a result. Each action has a counter-reaction to it. These are the laws of life that we live by and these are massive forces at play. I believe what we don't really quite yet understand is how much our actions actually do effect others, the people surrounding us, and the rest of the globe and beyond. We don't quite see how different we make the world each day by inspiring somebody or lending help to an individual in need. We do not see the ripple consequences of our smile on someones life, attitude, and perception of the planet.
All of these actions, little actions that you take each day are a part of karma.
So as time is moving along, I tap into my actions more and more and can feel the landscape changing as I consciously make my decisions rooted out of love. This shift in my mentality, which came through my coaching and mentors stretching of my mind, has allowed me to let go of what hurts me and to breath life and love into each and every single moment that I have.
Always come back to your breath. Come back. Come back. Come back. If your mind starts to ramble, come back. If you start to hurt, come back. Over time , you'll get more successful at being in this moment instead of reliving old ones or trying to go to a place that you can't possibly exist in. Keep coming back. "Come back to me" sometimes you will hear your heart murmur.
Our lives can be put on auto-pilot or you can drive this guy by hand and truly get a feel for the outcome of the complexities of each single action you take. There's beauty in that. Do not be discouraged by the understanding that everything you do matters. This should be something that frees you rather than locks you up.
Let that karma build. Keep adding those drops of water into the vessel and over a period of time you absolutely will have filled it.
P.S. Don't worry if you accidentally lit your haystack aflame. Being able to restore your entire city just how you need it to be is one of the coolest experiences you'll ever get to have.
