Known for writing and speaking on spirituality, personal growth, and principles rooted in Eastern philosophies, this quote by Sham Hinduja explains karma in a simple, grounded way. Karma isn’t about cosmic punishment or reward; it’s about understanding that every action has a consequence. What you put into the world eventually circles back to you, not necessarily in a dramatic or mystical sense, but in a very practical one.

When you act with kindness, integrity, or generosity, you shape an environment that tends to return those qualities to you over time. Likewise, negative actions, whether rooted in anger, fear, or selfishness, set off reactions that create difficulty down the road. Karma encourages self-awareness. It reminds you that your choices carry weight and that your thoughts, words, and behaviour quietly build the future you’ll one day walk into.

It’s also a call to responsibility. Instead of blaming luck or fate, the law of karma shifts the focus inward: what am I contributing? What patterns am I creating? How might my actions today ripple into tomorrow? This perspective gives you more control over your life, because it shows that every moment is an opportunity to sow something better.

This week was a very hectic week for me, so it flew past! The children were busy with their lives, so altogether, though we didn’t do much, it felt like the week started and ended almost immediately! As the children get older and busier with their lives, I feel that I know less about their lives than when they were younger. Earlier this week, Facebook reminded me about their kindergarten graduation with photos, and they looked so young and so full of enthusiasm for their new lives in primary school. Sigh! How time flies!!

Today’s motivation is about fresh starts. It’s never too late to make a fresh start. Each day brings new opportunities. Take a moment to stop, breathe, and set an intention to start fresh every day. Don’t let yesterday’s disappointments ruin today. Create space for more joy. Today, you have a chance to try again and to look at things in a different way. When you live fully in the present, you feel more empowered to embrace opportunities to do something you never expected. Focus on the good things you can do in the present moment.

That’s all I have for you this week. Stay positive, keep smiling, and remember that it’s never too late to make a fresh start!
