Salvation is simple.
For anyone who uses Facebook or Twitter, it must be apparent to you by now that you CHOOSE what image of yourself you want put out there. Out of all the 100 random ideas you could express, YOU decide which ones you want to put out there to show the world WHO YOU ARE.
Even if you are not using facebook or Twitter, at some point it becomes apparent to you that while you are having a conversation with someone, 10 ideas might flash in your mind, and you choose which one you want to express.
And once you’ve taken it to this level, then take it to another level, that when you are by yourself, you still have the power to focus on whatever the heck you want to focus on.
It’s a beautiful thing.
You can focus on your problems and all the limitation and frustration you OR you can turn in a new direction and start focusing on God, joy, creativity.
A Course in Miracles says you’re always demonstrating which thought system you have chosen to side with – God or the ego, love or fear. YOU CHOOSE.
Isn’t that amazing?
YOU CHOOSE.
You can choose to attack or you can choose to love.
You can choose to keep looking at the past and all your stories about all the things people and circumstances have harmed you
OR …. you can turn your focus to things you like to do, things you love, things to feel grateful for, things to appreciation.
YOU CHOOSE.
That’s the real miracle – the power to choose once again.
In every situation, you can choose to see things differently because THERE IS ALWAYS another way of looking, ALWAYS.
You can look for the goodness in a situation/person (see with the eyes of Christ) and you can keep having a grievance. The choice is yours.
WHAT ARE YOU FOCUSING ON?
When I first started blogging back in November 2004, my first few months of writing sounded like an angst-ridden teenager’s private diary. I whined a lot. I complained a lot. I wrote all about all my problems in great detail, and about all the horrible things that other people were doing to me. BOO HOO ME. I wrote about how I wished life was different and how I wished I was different.
I didn’t think anyone was reading my blog. I hadn’t told anyone about my new website, and it was more like a place for me to rant, complain and feel sorry for myself.
But then about a month or two later, I started receiving letters from people who were reading my blog. Shock me to the floor. Then I figured out how to view the Statistics page, which alerted me that approximately 100 people a day were visiting my site.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A dramatic change happened in that moment. Suddenly I had readers. Suddenly I had a responsibility. I took an honest look at what I was teaching and writing. I wasn’t teaching A Course in Miracles, that’s for sure. I was teaching was confusion, pain, suffering, loneliness, and poverty.
I also noticed that during the day I had moments of joy and peace, but I never really felt compelled to write too much about that. Back then, I was addicted to my story of pain.
The shift occurred for me in a big big way when I realized that I was having MANY thoughts and experiencing a WHOLE RANGE OF EMOTIONS and that if I wanted to, I could choose happiness.
I REALIZED THAT I COULD CHOOSE TO FOCUS IN A NEW DIRECTION (away from my problems) … IF … I … FELT …. LIKE … IT.
That was a turning point.
If I felt like it, I could be happy.
If I felt like it, I could think about God instead of my problems.
If I felt like it, I could be creative instead of whining.
If I felt like, I could do something differently.
If I felt like it, I could rise above the battleground, let the past go, and live in joy and focus only on truth.
IF I FELT LIKE IT
LASER-BEAM-FOCUS.
FOCUSING ON GOD.
FOCUSING ON LOVE.
FOCUSING ON FORGIVENESS.
And that’s why you can be happy, no matter what.
Because the power of decision is your own.
What a gift.
You don’t have to be miserable
You don’t have to be sick.
You don’t have to be depressed.
You don’t have to be tired.
You don’t have to be angry.
Because going on at the same time is a thought of joy, and if you focus on that, you’ll be happy.
Simple.

I just received my first letter a few hours from a new participant and it’s very exciting because the new group doesn’t officially start until this Monday, 4 days from now – and all she did so far was say YES!, fill out the questionnaire and I sent her back two email messages, and she’s already feeling a shift occur.
“Hi Lisa! What a big, awesome, crazy day! I’m feeling shifts already, since the moment I decided I was truly ready for change. I’m still a little scared, but I’m willing! I’m sooooo excited that you are here to guide me! I’m seriously overwhelmed with gratitude!”
I just love it. THANK YOU! Day 1 hasn’t even started and already a change is occurring. That’s the miracle – transformation doesn’t take any time. Thank you Jesus.
