Ok... it seems like when dh and i are helping people out etc we seem to be more moeny sound. We have been really tight and we have had nothing but bad luck. So we decided to start helping more people out etc hoping to change our luck around? Do you believe in Karma or anything doing with luck???

as my name is karmendra, i believe in karma.. see! luck is totally dependent upon karma or you can say work that you want to do.. if you want to eat something then you must have to cook food or arrange it from somewhere else. your karma decides your luck is good or not..

I have always heard this. I know when we were making pretty good money we were helping out several friends of ours not to count in our family. We stoppe helping and now everything went south.

money, karma, and your luck all are depends on each other. karma is the word from holy book of Mahabharata ( Hindu's holy book ). according to this book ,, you have to work hard,, and during your work, don't think about resultant it could be money, relationship, friends, and etc.,, think only about your work should be in right direction.. if your karma is good means your work is good then resultant will be good..

Personally I do believe. I think that life has a funny way of taking care of people who have gone out of their way to help someone or some thing. For me doing nice things for those around me just comes naturally and while there are many things that I'd like to have but don't, I also have lots of things that many in this world don't as well. I guess you just have treat people the same way you'd like to be treated in return. Yes it's an old cliche' but very simple and very true.

helping otheres whoin need is the best way if it is in the good expectation.youdo not have to wait any reward from them becouse you are going to be rewarded by the God who is looking what are u doing.But i don't believe what u are saying like Karma and luk.

I believe more in the "Do onto others as you wish to have done onto you" part of Karma. Always be kind, polite, and helpful to people and the same will be returned to you. Unfortunately, bad things do happen to good people. Some of the time, when bad things happen to you, it is from a time when you are not watching what is happening around you, you are not paying attention to your life, therefore, things go wrongly. Some believe that you can attract good luck or bad luck to yourself. And I know of a few people that this seems to be the case. But, essentially, I believe in the "what goes around comes around"; "you reap what you sow"; and "once you've made your bed, you gotta sleep in it" theories of life. Keeping a positive attitude in life makes life easier to deal with, even when things go wrong or bad.

Well yes in a sense I do. I believe whatever you sow is what you will reap. If you do good, good will come back to you and if you do wrong, it will come back to you also. The thing is it may not always be immediate and we all have our shares of ups an downs in life. I do believe that our good actions must be genuine in order for us to receive good things back to us. We can't do things just expecting good in return.

very good point. My husband and I decided just to help someone who needs it. I am hoping it will help us in the long run though not expecting it to. Anyting has got to be better than what we are right now.
