17 Friendly Gestures
That Create Good Karma
When
we create good karma in our lives today, we create more happiness and
fulfilment for our futures tomorrow.
Karma
is a universal law that affects everyone, all of the time. It is the consequence of our actions. Karma brings back to us what we are putting
out into the universe, be it love, hate, humor, sadness, stress, excitement or
anything else we chose to project.
Like
the ripples in a pond that radiate out from a pebble dropping into the water,
karma pulses out after each of our actions and choices, and it affects the
future unfolding in front of us.
Offering
kindness to others is a wonderful way to bring happiness to others, and it is
also a way to create good karma in our own lives. When we put kindness and love out into the
world, the after-effects of these choices bring more kindness and love into
tomorrow’s reality. For this reason,
offering a friendly gesture to another person is an action that is always worth
the effort!
