Karmic Instinct

Posted

Call it what you may. The universe, karma, God even. There is that force that glues everything together. Let's call it Karma.

Sometimes, someplace, somehow you find yourself in a bit of a void. You realise all of life's challenges are hitting you at once. At times, you'll make the wrong decision. Many times maybe. But then there will be that one decision that will make or break you. And depending on how many Good(tm) points you've earned in your life, you'll make it through the storm and dance in the rain. That's Karma at work.

And that deciding moment in your life relies heavily on instinct. I'm not saying that our lives are written in a book and we're just playing out our story. I do believe we are in control of our destiny, but I think it's Karma that makes us skip a chapter, or go back one. Instinct. That feeling in your spine, that unforseen vision of your future. That idea that inspired all those Sprite commercials. That. That is what connects the dots in our lives.

As Steve Jobs said in his Stanford Commencement speech, it's not easy trying to connect the dots looking forward in our lives, but it is very easy to do so looking back. And that is why I believe Karma, and Instinct is what we need to live successful lives.
