Karma = what goes around comes around. I’m a big believer in karma, and my goal is to create positive karma daily. An incredible faculty member at my institution who also happens to be a contributing writer to the AMA code of ethics once shared this quote that really resonated with me. Someone once said, “Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions. Watch your actions for they become habits. Watch your habits for they become character. Watch your character for it becomes your destiny.”
So I’m here to share with you some easy ways that I like to create good karma and things that I genuinely do practice on a daily basis!
- Throw kindness around like confetti, even to yourself.
- Smile, even at strangers.
- Think positively, even when it’s hard to.
- Say thank you.
