Most people understand karma through the common phrase when we see a bad person get what was coming to them:

"Well, karma is a bitch!"

But there is a lot more depth to the concept.

Specifically, there are 12 Laws of Karma that everyone should understand:

The Law of Cause & Effect

Whatever you put out, you receive back.

You reap what you sow.

This is also called "The Great Law", as it is the guiding law of karma and what most people think about when they think of the term.

The Law of Creation

Life and progress require active participation.

People who actively create for themselves and the others around them are more likely to receive in return.

Aligns with my golden rule: Create value, receive value.

The Law of Humility

The acceptance of our current state is the first necessary step to progress, growth, and change.

Develop an understanding and acceptance of where you are, what you control, and what you cannot.

The Law of Growth

The shift in our internal reality through progress, growth, and change creates a shift in our external reality.

We only control our own daily actions, not those of the external actors in our lives.

Focus internally to see progress externally.

The Law of Responsibility

Take personal responsibility for your life.

Look inward—not outward.

We are all responsible for how we respond to the circumstances and situations that we encounter.

That should be empowering, not frightening—no one can take that away from you.

The Law of Connection

Everything in your life is connected in some way, shape, or form.

All of your actions from your past have impacted your present, and all of your actions in the present will impact your future.

The Law of Focus

The mind is only capable of deeply focusing on one thing at a time.

Always seek to focus on a single point.

When in doubt, make that focus a positive one.

Multitasking is impossible!

The Law of Giving & Hospitality

When you are called on to give, give generously and without reservation.

If we have good fortune, we must walk the walk and give selflessly to those who may not.

— Sahil Bloom (@SahilBloom) March 8, 2023

The Law of Here & Now

You cannot live if you are constantly bemoaning the past or worrying about the future.

Be present in every single moment and focus on the daily actions that will contribute to a positive future.

— Sahil Bloom (@SahilBloom) March 8, 2023

The Law of Change

History will always repeat itself unless and until you make a change to your actions.

Change the inputs to change the outputs.

— Sahil Bloom (@SahilBloom) March 8, 2023

The Law of Patience & Reward

Always be patient with results.

Show up consistently, with energy and enthusiasm, and good things will come to you.

It's hard to beat the person who just keeps showing up.

— Sahil Bloom (@SahilBloom) March 8, 2023

The Law of Significance & Inspiration

We are all significant.

Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

We all have the power to contribute to a positive future.

Those are the 12 Laws of Karma.

Internalize them and you'll invite more positivity, growth, and luck into your life.
