Karma not Drama

Maybe I should be doing a Blog on my favorite sayings because I’ve got another one for you. This one gets me through so many things, so many times a day!

HOW PEOPLE TREAT YOU IS THEIR KARMA; HOW YOU REACT IS YOURS. Wayne Dyer

I’m not going to try and define or give philosophical explanations, laws or concepts of Karma, apart from saying it generally comes down to that one is responsible for one’s own life.

No, I use this quote for when I feel angry, hurt, saddened or generally ill treated by someone. It could be anyone, people close to me, friends of others, or an unknown person in a shopping centre.

Instead of getting any of the above mentioned ill feelings, instead of fuming over the how dare them, questioning myself on why they would...and all the other ways we can play peoples actions or words over and over in our minds. I instead focus on my KARMA and how I react.

I do not need to worry about their Karma, their actions or words, those are theirs.
I need to be concerned with my actions and words.

I own my choices, thoughts and actions, nobody else’s.

It can be soul strengthening to know that you react in kindness or at least a more positive way to which you have been treated!
It takes the pain of how you have been treated away quicker and takes your focus away from the negative.
It basically just does that, moves your energy away from the negative, and into the positive.

Another gem from Mr. Dyer- Conflict cannot survive without your participation.

When someone is really getting to me, I just repeat the little mantra in my mind, don’t get caught up in all the stuff that is going on for them, take a deep breath, and look after my own karma, my own beautiful life.
