Being humble has always been a trait I’ve revered in other, more
fully evolved peers. It is my belief that, in being humble, one will
automatically attract copious amounts of good karma.
Definition: (Wikipedia):
Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म; IPA: [ˈkarmə] ( ); Pali: kamma) means action,
work or deed;[1] it also refers to the principle of causality where intent and
actions of an individual influence the future of that individual.[2] Good intent
and good deed contribute to good karma and future happiness, while bad
intent and bad deed contribute to bad karma and future suffering.[3][4]
Karma is closely associated with the idea of rebirth in some schools of
Asian religions.[5] In these schools, karma in the present affects one’s
future in the current life, as well as the nature and quality of future lives
– or, one’s saṃsāra.[6] With origins in ancient India, it is a key concept in
Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism,[7] and Taoism.[8]
If being humble is revered in our society; why then, does it seem like
the more aggressive bird catches the worm. Does the aggressive bird
then feel consumed with guilt, surrounded by negative karma at the
end of the day? Does the humble bird, soar, wings outstretched flying
with no chains on the airwaves of super-charged karma at the end of
the day? Or does the humble bird have to recover, mending it’s
tattered wings, too tired to fly at the end of the day?
Our society has been encouraging, brainwashing us to believe that it
is a dog eat dog world. That once we have clawed our way up to
he top we have reached the pinnacle of success where we can bathe
in the richness of material wealth and status. Holding our noses up at
the humble birds who flit around somewhere in the middle or at the
bottom.
There are many signs indicating a silent, loving revolution. Small
gatherings of humble birds are speaking out against the negative
forces. They are flying in groups to try and change the aura of
the universe. To move and create a spiritual, peaceful utopia. To
move away from ego-based thinking and towards love and authenticity.

Morning Meditation:
Journal Entry: For today’s journal entry assess your actions and how you live
your life. Thinks about the last time you did something positive and directed
by love. How did it affect you? Do you think it elevated your karma? Now think
of a negative action and how you could have acted in a more positive manner.
