Be A Happy Learner

 “The happy learner cannot feel guilty about learning. Learn to be a happy learner. Whenever the pain of guilt seems to attract you, remember that if you yield to it, you are deciding against your happiness, and you will not learn how to be happy. Guiltlessness is invulnerability. Choosing guiltlessness is choosing freedom and joy because when you SEE GUILTLESSNESS in yourself, you see it in everyone else. Can you imagine how beautiful those you forgive will look to you? In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so lovely. Nothing you see here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such loveliness. Nothing that you remember that made your heart sing with joy has ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will bring you. This loveliness is not a fantasy. It is the real world, bright, clean & NEW. For forgiveness literally transforms VISION, and lets you see the real world reaching quietly and gently across chaos, removing all illusions that had twisted your perception and fixed it on the past. All beauty will rise to bless your sight as you look upon yourself and the world with guiltless eyes.” ~ A Course In Miracles

Love is a Choice

 ”The experience of Love is a CHOICE we make, a mental decision to see Love as the only real purpose and value in any situation. Until we make that choice, we keep striving for results that we think would make us happy. But we’ve all gotten things that we thought would make us happy, only to find that they didn’t. This EXTERNAL searching—looking to anything other than Love to complete us and to be the source of our happiness—is the meaning of idolatry.”
