Some mornings I wake up already entangled in the world.

The mind begins sorting problems, responsibilities, conversations, news, expectations.

It feels as if life has become complicated before the day has even begun.

But A Course in Miracles gently brings the mind back to something simple.

There is really only one decision to make.

Not a thousand small decisions about circumstances, but one quiet choice about how I will see.

Will I judge?

Or will I forgive?

The Course calls forgiveness my function — not as a burden, but as the path to happiness.

When I forgive, I stop demanding that the world prove my worth.

I remember that my value was established by God long before any achievement, role, or recognition.

Nothing the world gives or withholds can change that.

Today I pause and remember:

Let me not forget my function.

And in that remembering, peace quietly returns.
