Given to me some years ago from an internet friend, wish I remembered who. From The Course in Miracles.

Reading these to myself is a sure way to remind me of what is really important, and how I choose my life to be.

WHAT DO I WANT?

Standard

 

WHAT DO I WANT?

 

 

Do I really want to wake up

 

Or do I want to exist in this dream world?

 

Do I want to know the Truth or do I want to pretend?

 

 

Do I want to see past all illusions

 

And know what is really real?

 

Or do I want to live a life of pretending all is well,

 

Yet seeing only suffering and pain?

 

 

Do I really want to know that what I see is a product of my mind,

 

Or do I prefer to blame someone else, chastise the world,

 

Imagine that something outside of me causes all the difficulties?

 

 

What do I really want?

 

Can I change the way I look at the world?

 

I don’t know but I must try.

 

I close my eyes and remember,

 

I am still as God created me.
