Pulling Negative Thoughts Out By The Roots

I went out my front door this morning to go for a walk and I took a gander at my front yard.  It is springtime and many of the bushes and plants are flowering.  We have opted against using herbicide so our yard is home to a variety of beautiful wildflowers.  However, the word got out to the weeds about this safe haven, and they dot the landscape as well.

I postponed my daily jaunt and took a few minutes to pull weeds.  This has been a learning experience for me as there are quite a variety of weeds in the yard.  At first it was difficult for me to distinguish between a wildflower and a weed.  Sadly, I must confess that a few desert daisies, lupine and penstamine suffered an early demise due to my horticultural ignorance.

Karma Is Giving Freely

When you were a small child, the adults in your life probably told you that it is better to give than to receive. This is true for all adults as well, and it is true in a variety of different ways.

When you give a gift to someone, or do something nice for a person, you know how much better it is if you do not think about getting something in return. Your focus is on how happy it will make the other person feel. This is the true spirit of giving. If you expected something in return, your giving would not mean as much to that person-- nor would it mean as much to you.

When you consider karma, this same pure spirit of giving applies in all areas of your life. You are thinking of how your gift or your actions will make the other person feel good, rather than getting anythingin return. When you give freely, without placing any conditions or expectations on your giving, it also puts you in the right frame of mind to receive.
