Never underestimate even the littlest of actions. They are small drops of water, or maybe, tiny sparks of flame that can either build your life or set the whole thing ablaze. I've been there. I have really been there. 5 years ago my whole life was set on fire and that was all as a result of a karma build of negative actions over time. Ignoring the small things, attacking inward and outward, letting agony seethe inside of 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 take away from it.
It's never actually the big life events that describe us. Yes, absolutely, they have a big part to play, nonetheless it really simmers down to the small things, the ins and outs details that many folk ignore because they believe that they are irrelevant. The more times I dive into life the more that I truly begin to understand that everything is moving, continually changing, made of energy...and your actions in this moment have the ability to send ripples throughout space that you can not even potentially understand the true power of.
For a long time, there developed this gap between me and other people due to an inherent distrust in myself - not them. This big gap was made through fear, through personal anxiety, and through a total non-understanding of what I was born to do and be way down. So I tended to avoid situations and 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 doesn't turn out well when you're 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 distant future. You can miss the great smiles folks give you and how astonishingly fantastic can be. You can miss 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 considered to be the little details by many, but to me, these are the drivers of my life...these moments are my inspiration.
Everything around us is living and breathing, and to think for an instant that only because the ground you are standing on is solid fundamentally makes it dead, you my friend are absolutely wrong. It's all breathing. 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 giant forces at play. I believe what we don't quite yet understand is how much our actions really do effect others, the people surrounding us, and the rest of the globe and beyond. We haven't seemed to quite see how different we make the world each day by encouraging somebody or lending a bit of help to somebody in need. We can't really see the ripple results of our grin on someones life, attitude, and perception of the Earth.
All these tiny actions that you take each and every day are part of building karma.
So as time is occurring, 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 mind-set, which came through my coaching and mentors stretching of my mind, has permitted 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 consciousness begins to ramble, come back. If you become irritated, come back. Over the course of time you'll get better at being in this moment rather than revisiting old ones or trying to go to a place that you can't actually exist in. Keep coming back. "Come back to me" occasionally you will hear your heart murmur.
Our lives can be put on auto-pilot or you can drive this young dog manually and really get a feel for the results of the subtleties of each single action you take. There's beauty in that. Do not be intimidated by the acceptance that everything you do matters. This should 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 absolutely will have filled it.
P.S. Don't be discouraged if you happen to have lit your haystack aflame. Having the ability to rebuild your whole town just the way that you want it to be is one of the coolest experiences you will ever get to have.
