Essentially, karma means moving life from compulsive reaction to conscious action.  

You being a pleasant piece of life is one hundred percent in your hands, if you take charge of it.

Who you are is your making. Once you understand this, at least you must make yourself to your own liking.

The first and foremost step you need to take is to see that your life is your Karma; it is your making. Without seeing that, your life is not really yours.

Your likes and dislikes are the very foundation of your karma.
