A Resolution to Be Happy

…you cannot make decisions by yourself. ⁴The only question really is with what you choose to make them.

Your day is not at random. ²It is set by what you choose to live it with, and how the friend whose counsel you have sought perceives your happiness. ³You always ask advice before you can decide on anything.

…you and your adviser must agree on what you want before it can occur. ³It is but this agreement that permits all things to happen. ⁴Nothing can be caused without some form of union, be it with a dream of judgment or the Voice for God. ⁵Decisions cause results because they are not made in isolation.

It needs but two [you and Holy Spirit] who would have happiness this day to promise it to all the world. …⁵These two are joined before there can be a decision. ⁶Let this be the one reminder that you keep in mind, and you will have the day you want, and give it to the world by having it yourself. ⁷Your judgment has been lifted from the world by your decision for a happy day [with Holy Spirit]. ⁸And as you have received, so must you give. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.I.14:3-4;15:1-3;16:2-5;17:1,5-8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

In this season of making resolutions for the coming year, one goal will bring us a year filled with happiness. The practice of asking the Holy Spirit to guide our every decision will lead us to see the world through forgiving eyes. Without the judgments the ego would use to bind us to a dream of fear and guilt, we will joyfully join with the oneness of Love that is the only Reality.

Remembering that we are Love, we will offer only Love to the world. This is our heart’s desire. It is the answer to all we have search for but not found in the dream of separation. Our goal for this year is to ask the Holy Spirit’s guidance for all our decisions.
