When I woke up this morning, I thought about Karma. I thought
about something that was rightfully mine, which had recently been stolen from
me by someone who I once loved. I thought about how that betrayal has been
eating me up inside and how hard it’s been for me to just let Karma deal with
it and move on.
Then, I thought about how I’ve dealt with difficult feelings in
the past. I turn them around into something positive. I either focus on anything
positive I can find in the situation, or just have faith that it’s happening
for a good reason. I reminded myself that I need to LET THIS GO and move on,
and trust that Karma would bring something good back to me in turn.
I envisioned myself letting 30,000 balloons up into the clouds,
representing what had been taken from me, and in my mind, I watched them all
float away into the distance. That thought brought me peace and made me feel
like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.
I thought about how what goes up, must come down and I decided to
trust that the universe would bring it back to me someday – possibly in a
different form. I thought about the saying that whatever you give away will
come back to you tenfold. The person who sends hate and betrayal out will
receive it back, and the person who releases those feelings and sends goodness
back out instead will receive good things in return.
Then, I thought of the Frozen song, “Let It Go.” I pictured those
balloons floating away again and reminded myself that it was time to move on…
Excerpt from Let It Go:
“My power
flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back,
The past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go…”
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back,
The past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go…”
Poem For Tenfold (Author Unknown)
Whatever you give away today
or think or say or do
will multiply about ten fold
and then return to you
It may not come immediately
nor from the obvious source
but the law applies unfailingly,
through some invisible source
Whatever you feel about another
be it love or hate or passion
will surely bounce right back to you
in some clear (or secret) fashion
If you speak about some person
a word of praise or two
soon, tens of other people
will speak kind words of you.
Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul,
not secrets of the brain
Kind ones bring us happiness
petty ones, untold pain
Giving works as surely
as reflections in a mirror
If hate you send, hate you’ll get back
but loving brings love nearer
Remember as you start this day
and duty crowds your mind
that kindness comes so quickly back
to those who first are kind
Let that thought and this one
direct us through each day
The only things we ever keep
are the things we give away.
