In the business world, it’s thought time is money. This was my first thought to justify being rude. I was at the fabric counter at the store, with a mound of fabric to be cut. I was half way done when an older lady came into the line & she only had one small item that needed to be cut, which meant that she would have to wait until the half mound of fabric that I had left was cut. My mind said things like:

I was first. This is the way the world works.

She’ll just have to wait, the entire free world runs on the system of waiting in lines.

Then I thought about my goal to “build better karma”. I asked the cashier to let this lady go ahead of me. It probably took less than a minute, but it made both the cashier & the lady very happy. I need to change my mentality from being justified to being kind. (Yes, I know that a month doesn’t have 33 days in it, I just don’t think I’m quite done with this experiment yet).

This is the first day of my experiment to try & find out whether giving random acts of kindness for a month will help my business & life. I’ve tried to do some scientific research on this, by listening to what people have to say about “The Secret” & watching “My Name is Earl”. OK so it’s not really science.

I still don’t entirely understand the concept of karma, but it can’t hurt to be putting good out into the world. Even if it doesn’t help my business, it will help the world. This is so important to me because I want my life to have meaning. I think since I have fibromyalgia, I am more scared than most that it won’t. I want to be able to help people, but wearing shoes hurts, & I barely have enough money for myself, as well as being severely deficient in energy & therefore time. What are your thoughts on karma?

This is all of my posts about trying to see if the Secret worked. I gave it a solid shot for at least a month. What most people don’t tell you, is that’s it’s practically a full time job in itself. I’m still not entirely sure that I did it “right”, but time will tell. You can also look here where I asked the question Does the Secret Really Work?
