“Here is your home, and here your safety is. Here is your peace, and here there is no fear. Here is salvation. Here is rest at last.”
– A Course in Miracles, Lesson 102
We can all agree on the fact that no one wants to suffer. What we can’t all seem to agree on is whether or not human suffering is a necessary part of the equation of life.
To some extent, I believe it is, but only in terms of contrast, so we are able to distinguish one emotion from the other. And maybe even in terms of growth and evolution. Though A course in miracles clearly states that whether we learn through pain or through joy is completely up to us. I suppose ultimately life is simply full of nuances.
However, what I without a shred of doubt feel deep down in my core is that we are not meant to suffer, we are meant to be happy. We are meant to connect to love and goodness as we learn to rise above all else.
Our true and only function at the end of the day is happiness. It’s also not for nothing that this is something we are continuously in pursuit of. We do things and make decisions based on what we think would make us happy… the job, the car, the house, the partner, etc.

This week’s Miracle Mantra & Meditation
A weekly Mantra to support the practice of re-aligning with the truth of who you are. A thought to be repeated throughout the week and the day.
“I ACCEPT HAPPINESS AS MY FUNCTION”
You’re supposed to be happy, and you’re supposed to feel good, and safe and at home within yourself. We get thrown off and caught up in all things outside ourselves, forgetting that all that really matters at the end of the day, is that we are truly, deeply, profoundly happy.
