November 13, 2012 - Follow and Rejoice!

"Sandy Wythawai Starbird"

A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson #317
“I follow in the way appointed me.”

For a number of years I have felt that I am beginning to yield my will to "follow in the way appointed me". Usually this yielding happens without thought, and I am happy to release strong opinions and other emotions which have in the past led to turmoil and difficulties. Reflecting on why many people, particularly those in public office and positions of leadership, seem to be so headstrong and often unhappy, has led me to the conclusion that they are not "following in the way appointed [them]". I look at friends who are following the path of Love. The joy which they leave in their wake is contagious! Those who have turned away from conventional life pursuits to follow their heart are listening to Truth and acting on what they hear. Now, some might say that everyone can't do this or there would be no one to deal with the day-to-day necessities, their lifework consisting of what many consider to be drudgery. I watch an individual close to me who works in a job which is considered to be such, and I see how he is happy because it's more than just a job. It's his ministry. He's always noticing ways to help others and bring joy to situations. He, too, is listening and following. I will not let this day leave me where it found me, as I follow and rejoice.

 Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“All the evidence of physical sense and all the knowledge obtained from physical sense must yield to Science, to the immortal truth of all things.”
