Many people don’t like the idea of Karma. I guess because they don’t really know how it works.
But what about
“TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS”?
Does it sound better? Well, actually, it’s the same thing 
. You need to take responsibility not only for what you are doing now because it will define your future but also for your past actions because they led you where you are now.
But don’t see only the negative consequences of it.
It means that you’ll be rewarded if you act lovingly and consciously. So if you feel good, you find yourself in a nice place, doing what you love to do, surrounded by nice people, you can appreciate yourself and say: you deserve it! You have done well!
