Karma

 I’ve been thinking a lot about karma. Being a positive and kind person, at face value, I thought “with my karma, how could I get cancer?” So I decided to do some research (surprise, surprise) and realized karma is bigger than the sayings:

What goes around comes around.

You get back the same energy you put out.

You reap what you sow.

 Karma is a Sanskrit word, which literally means action. 

 We do often find ourselves thinking that when we do good things, only good things should come, but that isn't the actual meaning of karma. As stated above, it is more meant to guide you through this path of life.

 I can now see that although I'm a positive and kind person, cancer has guided me in a much different way than I otherwise might have taken. I can see how the laws of humility, connection, focus, here and now, patience and reward, and significance and inspiration have played a role in this path of my life.
