Lofty Goals

A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson #276

“The Word of God is given me to speak.”

Following the advice of Mary Baker Eddy to neither see, hear, nor repeat any imperfection, I look forward to today's lesson which reinforces these lofty goals. It seems most people want you to join in their misery, so the goal of hearing and repeating only good becomes an interesting exercise. I find myself simply witnessing, without comment, while engaging in lots of smiling. A good friend taught me to say, "You may be right!" This is a good comment to make just before wandering away -- which I'm prone to do. I'm sure many think I'm daft, but that's okay. I often tell people I wake up in a new world every day, and this excuses many of my actions, as they think I'm addlepated and forgive me -- or at least they don't push me for comments! Whatever the case, it's all right as long as I don't feel that uneasiness which comes from not living Truth.
