The Right Action in the Present Moment

I hope you all had a nice week and a good weekend celebrating the holidays. Last week I shared the third principle of Karma with my classes. It is truly one of the pillars of my life and I was reminded of it in several ways last week.  “There is no power on earth greater than the right action in the present moment.”

My family is going through a lot of transition right now but gradually the pieces we need to fit together are landing in place. My motto has been to just focus on making the right decision in this moment with the understanding and belief that the ripple effect will create positive Karma in the future.

Sometimes when we are overwhelmed or stressed out we forget the power we have in this moment. Often we are in a trance (living in what was or what could be) and we miss the chance to make mindful decisions today that positively affect our tomorrow. The choices we make in this moment affect our future and what is happening to us now is in many ways a response to decisions we have made in the past. That can be a hard pill to swallow but we can choose to remember that we have an amazing opportunity to channel our power and create positive karma for tomorrow by making mindful decisions today.   That is what I was reminding myself last week and what I wanted to share with you.
