Never fail to appreciate even the tiniest of actions. They are certainly little drops of water, or maybe, tiny sparks of flame that will either build your life or set all of it on fire. I've been there. I have truly been there. 5 years back my life was set on fire which was all as a result of a karma build of negative actions over a period of time. Ignoring the small things, attacking inward and outward, letting agony seethe within me and run my life. Oh yes I remember that night well, the night where the flames lit up the sky. I burnt down. I burnt to ashes.
Each day, we are presented with scenarios in which we will add to our karma or deduct from it.
It's never really the large life events that describe us. Yes, absolutely, they have a major part to play, however it really simmers down to the small things, the nitty gritty details that many people ignore because they believe that they are insignificant. The more and more I dive into life the more that I truly and deeply start to understand that everything is moving, consistently changing, made of great energy...and your actions in this moment have the capability to send ripples throughout space that you cannot even possibly comprehend the strength of.
For a long time, there was this significant gap between me and people because of an inbuilt distrust in myself - not them. This gap was created through fear, through personal nervousness, and through a total non-understanding of what I was meant to do and be way down. So I tended to avoid scenarios and others, 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 I am talking about? Well, it really doesn't work so well when you are coming from a place of fear.
There's great beauty in this life, but you can definitely miss it if you start spending excessive time thinking in times to come. You can miss the great smiles folks give you and how astonishingly amazing they are. You can miss 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 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 a second that only because the ground you are standing on is solid basically makes it dead, you my friend are absolutely wrong. It's all respiring. It's all living...and it all matters.
Every action has a result. Each specific 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 actually do effect others, the people surrounding us, and the rest of the world and beyond. We haven't seemed to quite see how different we make the world every single day by encouraging somebody or lending a helping hand to someone in need. We can't really see the ripple results of our generosity on someones life, perspective, and perception of the world.
All these tiny actions that you take each day are a part of karma.
So as time is occurring, I tap into my actions more and more and can feel the landscape changing as I consciously make my choices. This movement in my mind-set, 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 every single moment that I have.
Always come back to your breath. Come back. Come back. Come back. If your mind takes a turn and starts to roam, come back. If you become irritated, come back. Over the passage of time you certainly will get better and better at being in this moment rather than revisiting old ones or making an attempt to go to a place that you cannot actually exist in. Continue 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, which is much more fun, and really get a feel for the result of the intricacies of each single action you take. There's beauty in that. Do not be discouraged by the acceptance that everything you do matters. This may be something that frees you rather than being the thing that 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 worry if you incidentally lit your haystack on fire. The opportunity to be able to to restore your entire world just the way that you really want it to be is probably one of the coolest experiences you'll ever get to have.
