Souls can be consistently “bad” or “good” while incarnated, but how they act depends on many factors: What roles they sign up for, what karma they’re helping others work through, if they are learning their lessons and making progress, and many other considerations play a part.

Fortunately, there’s hope for even the biggest troublemakers: We’ve noticed, through past life regression, that those who do the most “good” in this life, may very well have been terrors on Earth in one or more prior lives. Also, we would agree that there are many people on this planet simply doing good not just to balance negative karma, but because it’s gratifying and fulfilling. But it has been said by wise women and men that selflessness doesn’t exist; everything everyone does is ultimately for one’s self, even if it’s for a feeling of satisfaction, to avoid feeling guilty or just to generate positive personal karma, for example.

Don’t worry too much about whether or not you were a kind person in past lives, as everyone has been “good” and “bad” in past lives. The most important thing is that you forgive yourself, acknowledge the necessity to balance any negative energy, and “do the right thing” now, in this life, at all times and in all situations.

Some other ways to avoid negative future consequences include reacting with love rather than fear, sending love and acceptance to your “enemies” in order to forgive them and create more harmony between you, accepting yourself as you are, respecting yourself in all situations, and striving to be the best you can be.
