ACIM Workbook Lesson #66:
“My happiness and my function are one.”
If we are created to be happy, why are we so often not? While wondering about this interesting question, I looked up happiness on Wikipedia. "Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. A variety of biological, psychological, religious and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources. Various research groups, including positive psychology, are employing the scientific method to research questions about what happiness is and how it might be attained. The United Nations declared 20 March the International Day of Happiness to recognize the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals." Today I will ponder why we find happiness to be elusive and joy to be fleeting, when they are clearly our native state of Being!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"Happiness is spiritual, born of Truth and Love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it."
