Your Karma is Connected with Your Success in Life
A lot of people believe that success is a result of hard work, talent, and sometimes, luck. Of course these factors play significant roles in maintain success, as I said in a previous article, but there’s another one element at play that is often overlooked, karma.
A lot of successful people, whether they know it or not, have reached high levels of success thanks to, not only their skills and strategies but to their karma as well.
Karma, which is a Sanskrit word meaning “action,” is in other words the Law of Cause and Effect. Our past actions are the cause of our present experiences. So, good actions lead to positive experiences, while bad actions bring negative experiences, and this spiritual principle is deeply embedded in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism.
Successful people often attribute their achievements to various factors such as hard work, strategic planning, networking, and education. However, many of them may not realize that their success could be an effect of their past actions, in other words, they manifested their positive karma. Unlike physical efforts and strategies, karma operates behind the curtains, rearranging events so that we get what we previously gave, shaping our paths in ways we might not immediately recognize.
In today’s age, everyone has become an expert on achieving success. Everyone all of a sudden knows the formula to success. From motivational speakers, to authors, writers, athletes and even a 19-year old youtubers. There’s a lot of stuff that will help you, I’m not saying the opposite BUT, not everyone who follows these tips succeeds. What the successful 1% do, a lot of people do as well, but why only those few select get to reach that high level of success in their field? Because of their karma, and again, that’s my belief.
Success rooted in karma goes beyond mere actions; it encompasses the intentions behind those actions. Genuine kindness, ethical conduct, and a desire to contribute positively to society creates good karma. These individuals often find that opportunities and support seem to come their way effortlessly. Everything just seems to fall into place without much effort from their part. “Lucky” moments appear more frequently in their lives. They meet the right person, at the right time, they get the investment for their idea, everything just seems to fall into place.
Those who consistently act with integrity and compassion are more likely to experience lasting success. You might say that, a lot of bad people succeed in their fields, but that’s what we’re seeing in the spotlight. We do not know what demons they’re fighting behind the spotlight.
The question then arises: why do only a select few succeed, despite many having the capability to do so? The answer lies in their karma. Their karmic wealth manifests as seemingly serendipitous opportunities, supportive relationships, and the ability to navigate challenges with ease. Their path to success appears smoother, not because they possess superhuman abilities, but because their positive karma paves the way.
Conversely, if you are struggling despite your efforts, you might be grappling with the effects of your past negative karma. This doesn’t mean that you are doomed to failure, but rather that you need to more conscious of your actions, so that you can counterbalance your negative karma with positive acts. And one of the biggest positive actions that you can take, is to forgive.
Holding onto grudges and seeking revenge generates negative karma. Practicing forgiveness and letting go of past resentments cleanses your karmic negative debt.
So, success is not merely a product of hard work, talent, and strategic planning. It is deeply intertwined with the karma we accumulate through our actions and intentions. While skills and knowledge are essential, the invisible force of karma often determines the ease with which success is achieved. By understanding and cultivating positive karma, you can enhance your chances of achieving not just temporary success, but lasting fulfillment and prosperity. So, next time you ponder the secret behind someone’s success, remember, it might just be their karma at work.
