Read a story of a WWII Veteran whose uncle had written in his Bible (and this doesn't necessarily have to pertain to Christians only - whatever your Holy Book is) "Give the first few minutes in the early morning to God, and He'll take care of you the rest of the day".
During Pearl Harbour attack a bomb with a delayed fuse penetrated the third floor of this soldier's barracks and exploded right over his bunk. He would not be here today had he not been called away from the barracks. When he returned, he discovered that everything had been destroyed....except his Bible, which went untouched by harm.
I really liked this true story - partially because Memorial Day is but a month away, and secondly because I believe what the man's uncle wrote. So many times we wake up with aches and pains (the older we get) - thinking of all the things we DIDN'T get instead of thanking God for all the things He's given us. I used to say my prayers at night, but after reading this story I began to say my prayers in the morning, and at night giving Him prayers of thanks.

Karma isn't "destiny". Karma is what you decide to do with the life God gave you. You can leave your life's work with nothingness; you can leave golden footprints by helping others...the decision is yours to make.
