You’ve heard it: “Karma’s a bitch.”
It’s usually said with a smirk when someone finally gets what’s coming to them. But the truth is, karma isn’t out to get you—it’s not some vengeful cosmic hitman.
Karma is a mirror.
1. Karma reflects, it doesn’t punish.
What you put into the world—your words, actions, and intentions—has a way of bouncing back. Not because the universe has a grudge, but because people respond in kind.
If you’re kind, people are more likely to be kind to you.
If you’re selfish, people either avoid you or treat you the same way.
2. Your patterns create your reality.
Consistently making bad choices doesn’t summon some mystical punishment—it just builds a life full of consequences that look suspiciously like “karma.”
Cheat often enough, and you’ll surround yourself with people who lie.
Be generous and trustworthy, and you’ll attract the same.
3. The mirror doesn’t lie.
The people you draw in, the situations you find yourself in, and the way others treat you all reflect who you are—or who you’ve been. That’s uncomfortable for some, because it forces you to admit that maybe you’re not the victim of “bad luck,” but the architect of it.
4. Change the input, change the reflection.
If you don’t like what karma is “doing” to you, the fix isn’t to curse the universe—it’s to change your own actions. Stop feeding the mirror things you don’t want to see again.
Bottom line: Karma isn’t a bitch—it’s a reflection. And until you change what you’re putting out there, the mirror will keep showing you the same picture.
