Never underestimate even the tiniest of actions. They're small drops of water, or even, small sparks of flame that can either build your life or set all of it on fire. I've been there. I have, truly been there. 5 years back my whole life was set aflame and that was all due to a karma build of negative actions over a period of a long time. Ignoring the tiny things, attacking inward and outward, letting discomfort seethe inside 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 truly the big life events that define us. Yes, absolutely, they have got a big part to play, nonetheless it really comes down to the small things, the nuts and blots details that many people ignore because they think they are irrelevant. The more and more I dive into life the more that I start to understand that everything is moving, continually changing, made from energy...and your actions in this moment have the capability to send ripples throughout space that you can not even potentially understand the power of.
For a long time, there developed this gap between me and others because of an inbuilt distrust in myself - not them. This gap was created through fear, through personal hysteria, and through a complete non-understanding of what I was born to do and be deep down inside. So I would avoid situations and other people, or on the flip side, purposefully spend almost all of my time attending to others so I could ignore focusing on myself.
You know that karma that I am talking about? Well, it really doesn't work so well when you are actually coming from a place of fear.
There's great beauty in this life, but you can definitely miss it if you're spending too much time thinking in times to come. You can miss the amazing smiles folk give you and how stupendously amazing they are. You can lose out on how unbelievably tranquil 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 moving, and to think for an instant that just because the ground you are standing on is solid by nature makes it dead, you my friend are completely wrong. It's all respiring. It's all living...and it all matters.
Each 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 giant forces at play. I believe what we do not quite yet understand is how much our actions truly 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 every day by inspiring someone or lending help to someone in need. We can't really see the ripple effects of our grin on someones life, attitude, and perception of the world.
All of these actions, little actions that you take 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 decisions. This change in my mentality, which came through my training and mentors stretching of my mind, has permitted 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 takes a turn and starts to roam, come back. If you start to hurt, come back. Over time , you will get more successful at being in this moment instead of remembering old ones or trying to go to a place that you can't possibly exist in. Always be coming back. "Come back to me" often you will hear your heart murmur.
Our lives can be put on auto-pilot or you can drive this guy manually and truly get an understanding of the result of the intricacies of each and every single action you take. There's beauty in that. You don't have to be intimidated by the understanding that everything you do matters. This is going to 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 will have filled it.
P.S. Do not fret if you happen to have lit your haystack aflame. Being able to restore your complete town just the way you need it to be is one of the coolest experiences you'll ever get to have.
