Some people refuse to believe in Karma.

Some people refuse to believe in Karma.

It's a funny thing, karma.

As you may have noticed, I'm not the one limping away from the scene of the job loss.

Or being hung from the rafters in the chat rooms.

No, that would be you.

Your dirty little secret about how you fired me won't be aired publicly the first chance I get.

Because I believe in karma.

I focus on what matters most when I get fired, laid off, or leave a job.

Work. Doing it. Finding it.

On being better at what I do, rather than searching through all the luggage.

First things first.

I move on and unpack later.

I'm not Mother Theresa or Ghandi.

I don't forgive and forget.

My grudges are my personal nuclear codes.

They fuel my reactors.

They stoke a fire that burns within me.

To prove my value without malice or melodrama.

My grudges are the price I pay for being singularly focused on the work and little else.

Tenacity is my superpower.

And thankfully, I let karma handle the petty shit.

That mosquito in your ear at 3 AM?

That chilling health diagnosis?

The car crash?

That's the interest you're paying without putting a dent in the principle.

That's karma.

I'm working. I'm thinking. I'm writing. I'm solving.

I'm free of the mess you made.

I'm no longer in charge of the cleaning crew.

Your sewage is off of me and it's clinging to you.

That thing you're too cheap to fix?

You're paying for it every day.

The horrible things people whisper about you?

There is no off switch.

You just spinning the narrative.

Juggling the mediocrity.

Stuffing your mattress with money that offers no discernable comfort.

You can't fix the real problem.

You can't see the real problem.

It's not spinning towards you.

It is you.

Wow! Beautiful and fun to read at the same time! There is a lot of karmic debt to be paid by many in this business. I learned that well. Cameron has the right idea. Let God handle the bad things people do. Stay focused on your work and your goals and keep writing. You will win. God will catch up with the losers.

Cameron Day I reading “Let Them” - between what I am reading there and this, I believe the universe is trying to tell me something. I’m listening. This is gold. Brava!
