CHOOSE HOW YOU MAKE YOUR BED

Every action you take, every decision you make, everything you do
causes an immediate effect on those around you - and on you. And that
is the important bit. There is such a thing as instant karma. It is
your bed and you are going to have to lie in it. Your actions will
dictate whether in general your life is going to run happily or badly,
smoothly or as if the wheels have fallen off. If you are generally
loving and thoughtful you will get your just rewards - and not in
heaven (or the next life or whatever you believe) but right here,
right now. Trust me. Whatever you do and how you do it will come back
to you in spades. This isn't a threat, merely an observation. Those
who do good, get good. Those who do bad, get bad. I know we can all
point to people who seem to have it made and are still pretty vile.
But they don't sleep at night. They have no one to really love them.
Inside they are sad and lonely and frightened. Those who go around
sharing a bit of love and kindness get rewarded with the same coming
back. It's a bit like the old adage that "You are what you eat". You
are what you do. Look at the faces of those who spread joy and you
will see laughter lines and smiles. Look at those who like to bully
and get their own way and are arrogant or demanding or vicious and you
will see etched lines of misery and fear, and frowns where there ought
to be lightness. These lines won't ever be taken away by face creams
or suntans or plastic surgery. They are what they do and you can see
it in their eyes. And the state of their bed of course. So be careful
how you make you bed. What goes around, comes around. There is instant
karma. What you sow you reap. Better to stand up and be counted right
from the start. Do the right thing, every time. You know what it is.
Then when you get in the bed you've made, not only will you be able to
sleep at night, but you'll sleep the sleep of the just.
