00:00He did everything right and still lost everything, until one stranger at a diner said six words that changed his entire life.

00:08Jake was 27 and done pretending everything was fine.

00:11He lived in a run-down studio apartment just outside Detroit, working a job he didn't care about,

00:17surrounded by people who always seemed to get ahead by cutting corners.

00:20Jake, on the other hand, had played by the rules and lost.

00:25Work hard, be decent, treat people right, they said, but it didn't seem to matter.

00:29His inbox was full of rejection emails.

00:32His bank account was almost empty.

00:34And the guys who lied, cheated, and faked their way through life, they were thriving.

00:39One night, Jake was grabbing coffee from a 24-hour diner when an old man at the counter struck up a conversation.

00:46Jake, frustrated and bitter, said,

00:48Feels like doing the right thing just makes you the loser.

00:51The man looked at him, calm and steady, and said,

00:54You think being good means life owes you something?

00:57That's not how it works.

00:58Jake rolled his eyes.

01:00Then what's the point?

01:01The man took a sip of his coffee and said,

01:03Karma's not a shortcut.

01:04It's a law.

01:05You may not see it working, but it never stops.

01:08That night, Jake didn't sleep much.

01:10He kept thinking about what that man said.

01:12Not because he believed it, but because he wanted to.

01:15So the next morning, he did one small thing differently.

01:18He helped his cranky neighbor carry groceries upstairs.

01:21No one asked.

01:22No one noticed.

01:22A few days later, he returned a lost wallet he found in the parking lot, even though it had cash inside.

01:28Again, no one clapped.

01:30No reward.

01:32Just silence.

01:32But over the next few weeks, small things started happening.

01:36His neighbor recommended him for a better job.

01:38The wallet belonged to a small business owner who just happened to be hiring.

01:42He started showing up a little earlier, speaking a little kinder.

01:45And slowly, things shifted.

01:48Not instantly.

01:49Not magically.

01:50But real change.

01:51One decision at a time.

01:52A year later, Jake had a stable job.

01:55A better place to live.

01:56And peace he never thought he'd feel.

01:58One afternoon, a new hire at work complained to him.

02:01What's the point of working hard?

02:03No one else does.

02:04Jake smiled and said,

02:05You don't do the right thing to win today.

02:07You do it because, eventually, the world gives back what you give out.

02:11That weekend, Jake stopped by that same diner.

02:14The one with the old man.

02:16But the guy wasn't there.

02:18Just a folded napkin on the counter with four words scribbled in pen.

02:22Told you.

02:23Karma remembers.

02:25Jake laughed.

02:27Not because life was perfect now.

02:29But because he finally got it.

02:32You don't rewrite the law of karma just because it's quiet.

02:36You live it.

02:37Because even when you're not looking,

02:39it's...

02:39You live it.
