Adapted from The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, by Deepak Chopra (Amber-Allen Publishing, abridged edition, 2007).

Every action is a karmic episode because action generates memory, memory generates desire, and desire generates action again. As long as karma is both for you and for those around you then the fruit of karma will be happiness and success.

Experience the Law of Karma in this way:

1. Witness the choices you make in every moment. The best way to prepare for any moment in the future is to be fully conscious in the present.

2. Whenever you make a choice, ask yourself two questions: “What are the consequences of this choice?” and “Will this choice bring happiness to me and to those who are affected by this choice?”

3. Ask your heart for guidance, and be guided by its message of comfort or discomfort. If the choice feels comfortable, go ahead with that choice. If the choice feels uncomfortable, then don’t make that choice.

Does this mean that a basically insecure person who is always doubting, in the question of choice should he/she always say no?

I made bad choices, made out of fear and now I am suffering greatly and trying too hard to regain everything i've lost, it seems not to be possible, I think it's just folly on my part i'm treated worse than a dog and the pain it causes is excrutiating. delicate female and homelessness do not mix. the haves look down on the have nots. but i know in my heart all the cruel people will in fact pay for it too.

Please listen to your heart desire. And let it be your guide and don't forget to weigh all odds to feel good about it with prayer being the frist key. Because what God ordain he will maintain he covers you.
