Bad Karma for me is always when I let my thinking go its own way. And, I can always counteract it by saying something that may sound crazy. I simply say to myself, "Devil, get away from me." God always wants us to enjoy life and have contentment. He gave us control over our thinking, but we must use that control. Just think about what we sometimes allow to happen in our thinking and what we say to ourselves. Imagine this: "If you had a friend who talked to you like you sometimes talk to yourself, would you continue to hang around with that person?"Michael, I have often wondered the origin of karma, it’s existance and what did i do so terribly wrong in the past to be continually bombarded by very hurtful things–is it my attitude? I tried to be a good loving person but lost family and health no matter what i chose—HOW DOES IT TURN AROUND? BROKEN ANKLES , CHEATING HUSBAND, CANCER, BLOOD CLODDING CONDITION–WHEN DOES IT STOP? I WAS SO POSITIVE TO CHANGE MY LIFE AROUND –AT 52 I AM STILL WAITING….IS IT MY IMPATIENCE?

Dearest Chrissey,
Everyone needs a hand sometimes. You’ve been through so much. Seek out those people who will extend you theirs – they’re sometimes hard to find, but that’s what makes them so golden. If you can’t find them, become one to others, and those whom you help will feed you with their love.
Find those people, read those books, watch those movies, keep taking a tiny step forward at a time, and think of yourself as a "thriver", not as a "survivor," and most certainly not as a victim. Surround yourself with such life-giving input and your ship will slowly begin to change direction so you again can feel the warmth of the sun.
