The Fourth Law of Karma: The Law of Growth

It’s a gorgeous evening. I’m out with friends, sipping wine, laughing so hard our abs are sure to be killing us later. Music’s playing, the energy is electric, and soon we’re throwing around the best ideas.

“Let’s go on a sunrise hike!”

“Ooooh, let’s do a cold plunge!”

“I know a great place to camp!”

In the moment, I’m in––fully, completely and utterly enthusiastically!

Of course I want to wake up before dawn, voluntarily hurl myself into freezing water, and sleep on the hard ground in a tent!

Future Me? She’s kind of like a superhero.

Then..... the next day rolls around.

Present Me opens the calendar… and let’s just say her enthusiasm has cooled off considerably.

“Ugggghhhh… why did I say yes to all this again?”

Which got me thinking…

I imagine this is kind of what it’s like for our souls.

Up there, in the spirit realm, hanging out with the angels and guides, sipping on celestial cocktails when the brainstorming begins:

“Okay—what if you work through old wounds around self-worth?”

“Break a few generational patterns?”

“Maybe toss in some big lessons on trust, boundaries, and forgiveness?”

And your soul—radiant, wise, and wildly up for the challenge—says:

“Ooooh YES! That sounds incredible. Let’s do it!”

Then… you land here.

And while your soul is still buzzing with excitement and carrying the blueprint, your human self is like, “Umm… wait a minute. This feels a bit overwhelming.”

And sometimes, it is.

Enter the Fourth Law of Karma: The Law of Growth

This karmic law reminds us of something we know deep down but often try to wiggle out of:

True growth starts within.

Not by changing our outer circumstances. Not by trying to rearrange other people. Not by waiting for life to finally be easy before we start doing the work.

There’s no shortcut. No bypass.

And no one else can carry the soul lessons that were meant for you.

Your growth is yours for a reason.

The Truth About Growth

Sometimes growth feels amazing. Expansive. Liberating.

Other times it’s gritty. Messy. Uncomfortable. You want to hide under a blanket and pretend you never said yes to any of it.

But it’s sacred.

Because your soul didn’t come here to coast.

It came to stretch. To evolve.

To rise into its fullest expression—not through avoidance, but through integration.

And yes, I’ve tried to skip steps.

More than once, I’ve hoped someone else could do the heavy lifting.

I’ve delayed, detoured, and even begged the Universe for an easier route.

But it doesn’t work that way.

And the truth is, when you walk through the fire—when you do the work and come out the other side stronger, softer, wiser, and more free—it’s pure alchemy.

That’s where the magic lives.
