being true

to me is a concept that can and will build a soul, feeding it with life, love and confidence. Teaching you value of humanity, compassion and effort. I am not talking about winning an argument, a bet or being more knowledgeable than another.... I mean being able to read you own feelings, being true to what you feel and knowing when your heart is teaching you an important lesson.

I think there are many interpretations of the word 'KARMA' and all are entitled to their opinion and how they perceive it. Over the course of the past year my head and heart have done some amazing soul searching and come to the conclusion that you can and most likely will hurt many people in your life, stomp a few dreams of your own (unintentionally) and give up on things you once thought were your whole world. Karma to me is when you don't follow the path that your soul is leading you in. The spiritual self lives deeper than any physical attribute you may posses and will live on long after you have forgotten your first kiss, the first time you saw someone cry, the first time you said 'I love you'. All these contributing to the person you are and even if you don't remember the small things they are well inside you.
I will not pretend this earth is not full of negativity, contradiction, world hunger, poverty, war, profiteers, money hungry governments and a world so far from peace that no one is even trying anymore.
Truly there is less effort in being a good person than there is in being part of the bad and even if you don't find a cure for something deemed 'incurable', don't recognize the importance of looking after the planet for the sake of the generations to come or don't get to experience the joy of marriage you will live a better life having known that a soul has its own entity and will take you to the greatest heights if you allow it..

from the worlds of Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition,to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded"
