Instant Karma

 I had the idea for this blog post for like a week, but it didn't feel right time.  Feels ok, now, though.

So, I think there exists this thing called instant Karma.  I don't mean that someone that did someone bad suddenly faces bad, though the videos out there for that are awesome.  What I mean is natural consequence.  The more I reflected on it, the less stressed I am over other people that reject you or don't get you.

Here's the deal...  We don't have to do anything, and we don't even have to think about it.  It will happen on it's own.

If someone is nice to you, they will get more of you. If someone does bad things to you, they will get less of you.  If you are nice to people, you will probably get more friends.  I learned that over the years, and some of my closest friends are those of which I used to have loud debates... but always circled back because in my opinion care for someone doesn't ever really go away.  It is just either shared or not.. fueled or dwindles for lack of nourishment.   But, to get back to my point, people will get good if they give good, because people LIKE good.  If they are distant, they will get distance... because who wants to chase someone that is only interested in you when they are bored.

So.. not a long concept.  So, it's a short post.  Point being, if you want good, be good.  Feed those things you want to stick around in your life, because you will give them a reason to stay.  Then, if they leave, let them go.. give them that Karma to lose you, and find another worthy of it being given.

Follow Your Bliss

I think it was a couple years ago that I first discovered Joseph Campbell.  I had heard the phrase "follow your bliss" but hadn't given it much thought til that moment.  It just sounded like a holiday card that seemed too impractical.  But, upon digging into it and applying it to my life, it became one log in the fire upon which my self esteem and direction was formed. " Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else " So many people walk around saying to others and themselves that they do...

Reframe Happiness

When you “reframe” something, it doesn’t always mean to be delusional about it… though some move in that direction.  They don’t accept reality, so they change their perception of reality to fit their circumstances.  Indeed, I got into several past bad social connections with people because I reframed their lack of effort, empathy, or romantic actions to be just that it was underneath but just not seen.  But.. to quote the Bible (not as a holy source but collection of passed down maxims on life), faith without works is dead.  What it means is if you can’t see its effects in some way, it’s not there.  That’s not just true of faith but is a life application principle for judging what is or is not, as well.  Even Jesus said to judge a plant by its presence of fruit… love, joy, peace, patience, etc.. or not.   But, what if the FRUIT and TRUTH suggests a path is not functioning to bring you happiness?  Then, you might want to reframe what you NEED to be...
