Do You Worry About Karma?

So, as a quasi-Buddhist, I sometimes find myself worrying about what kind of energy I am sending out into the universe. They say that everything we send out to others we get back, or get back 10-fold, depending on which belief system we subscribe to. If this is accurate, sending out positive actions leads to blessings while doing negative things in the lives of others leads to curses.

On Getting Discouraged

Michael — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:57:59 +0000

I am certain I am not the only one out there who has become discouraged at some point in life. I am also certain that I am not the only one completely lost as to how to repair it when it happens. I know it is possible to become motivated again, though, because people do it all the time. While they do not share the secret, they do let us know that things are better for them than how things once were.

This post is not long or informative. It is an announcement. I am embarking on a new journey to try to reclaim my motivation and encouragement from myself. I want to wake up one day excited and happy, just like I used to.

And when I find out how to do this, I will share it with all of you.

What do you do to get yourself motivated? How do you avoid getting discouraged?
