100 Karma Quotes About Life, Love And Fate

I don’t have to tell you that having to deal with a negative person only makes everyone’s day worse, so there really isn’t any need to lash out just because you’re in a bad mood — and if you’re one of these people, shame on you for trying to bring someone else down.

But don't worry — thanks to karma, we all get ours in the end.

What is karma?

Karma is when a person's actions, good or bad, cause something in the opposite to happen at a later time. 

If you do ever run into one of these grumpy, negative people — which is almost inevitable — you should rest assured by the fact that karma will take care of them for you, just like karma takes care of the positive people too.

They might yell at you for getting their coffee order wrong or shove past you to get on the bus first, but don’t let that ruin your day ... because karma always has a few tricks up her sleeve. And karma and sweet, sweet revenge go hand-in-hand.

And hey, isn’t it always better to have someone else do the dirty work? That way your own doesn't come back to bite you in the end too.

So, not only should you thank your girl karma for having your back, but thank her for getting her hands dirty so you can enjoy your day without negative people in your way.
