Karma is a b*$#h?!

"What is one of the kindest things someone has done for you"? I have had a lot of people do some very kind things for me over the years. Each time the most memorable or life changing acts of kindness that was bestowed upon me was when I really needed some act of kindness the most in my life. I guess that is when you can say thank you to karma. 

One of the most important though was when my wife showed her faith in me when she gave me her blessing to leave a really good job in order for me to pursue my passion of health and fitness. At the time I was at a really low point in my professional career and I was miserable and had been miserable for quite some time. My true north and what I believed in was not lining up with whom I was working for anymore. I needed to make a change, but the change was going to require a lot of work and dedication from both myself and my family. The only way this change in my life was going to happen was going to be through the kindness, courage and belief my wife wanted me to feel. Because of my wife's kindness and belief in what I needed to do has changed my life on so many different levels. The happiness that I feel in my life today is a direct reflection of the kindness that my wife has within her.

I mentioned above about saying thank you to karma. I truly believe that we all have a karma tank. This karma tank has to be maintained and replenished from time to time. We maintain it by returning selfless acts of kindness to others. When we do this our own personal karma tank stays full and allows each of us to receive acts of kindness in return. So if you feel like the world is crapping all over you at times, check your karma tank. If it is running low, it's time to refill. The only way to refill is to forgive the world and do things that are from a selfless and positive mindset.
