#Karma: It pays to not be a bitch

Aug 14

Of all the things in the world I am most conscious of it is energy. It is my belief that we are all one, and consistently feeding off of each other in one capacity or another. Hence the enso on my left wrist ...

That being said ... on Friday, I was walking to a meeting (as is my usual - can't WAIT to get my car back), and as I got off the bus walking down Fairfax I saw this blind woman having trouble crossing the street.

Without blinking an eye (no pun intended), I ran over to help her, and proceeded to walk her to her bus stop a block away. She thanked me profusely, told me all about her grand-daughter that went to Berkley, and her grand-son over at USC; she had just come from the store to buy them kiwis - they apparently eat them up.

I made sure she got to the stop safe and sound, and once she was set - I walked away.

Now I do this shizzy shiznat all the time, and totally don't feel the need to talk about it because it's just for me; things like this make me feel REALLY good, and it's frankly how my parents raised me to be. Dude, if my mom saw that I didn't help someone in need like that, she would have slapped the bejesus out of me. No matter how big of a rush you may be in, how big of an anything you may think you are - if someone is in need, dude, offer a hand.

So that's my mantra, and that happened. Then, about an hour later I had to head to Samys Camera to pick up a camera bag for my DV cam for my trip. See the case that I have for it totally looks like an expensive thing, and when you're backpacking I have to go a bit more under the radar - translation: it can't look like I'm carrying a camera.

I walked into Samys, and after about an hour of picking out the PERFECT bag, I head over to the register to pay.

The duderino takes one look at me and goes, how are you paying for this - with your smile?

I laugh, and he goes - no wait, if you do that I'd have to give you something back, and we can't do that.

He then goes to ring up the bag, and it was like super expensive. For reals, that thing was like $170.

The duderino takes a look at the price as it is rung up on the register and goes - nope! You aren't going to pay this ... it's too much.

How would you like 10% off?

Seriously, I say?

Yep!

Mind you, this dude was like 80 so clearly he owned the joint.

I would be unbelievably grateful, I say.

Perfect! 10% off it is.

And boom - just like that, the universe paid me back. Albeit, it was with a pretty girl discount, but whatevs. I would have helped out the woman no matter what ... FYI, I wasn't looking to "get back" - but that's the best part about it - it's all universal law, it can't not happen.

See, I have bat shit crazy adventures because I show up for life every day and live it to the fullest, and I am also FREAKY blessed with AMAZING karma because I am conscious of what I send out to the universe, and now it has a rebound rate of less than 24 hours - it's creepy actually.

Bottom line, nerds - don't be a douche. The only person you're ever hurting is yourself, and life is far far far too abundant for self mutilation.

YAY NEW CAMERA BAG!!!! =) =) =)
