Finding Your Special Function:
Julia's story read
|
'Only by fulfilling the function given you by God will you be happy. That is because your function is to be happy by using the means by which happiness becomes inevitable. There is no other way. Therefore, every time you choose whether or not to fulfill your function, you are really choosing whether or not to be happy.'
A Course In Miracles
W.64.4:1-4

Finding your function is a key theme in A Course In MIracles.
Otherwise described as 'living your purpose' - this is absolutely the most important thing you can do – both for yourself and for the world. And, no, I am not exaggerating!
Fulfilling your function is the only thing that will ever make you truly happy. That’s because it is the only thing that will bring meaning and miracles into your life.
Do you want to know what magical ingredient can bring such joy?
Forgiveness! Yep, it’s that simple. That’s the function that we all share.
This is forgiveness of a radical kind that will change our entire perception of the world if we let its healing grace envelop our hearts and minds. ‘Forgive and you will see things differently!’
Beyond our shared purpose of forgiveness, we each have an individual and particular role to play that will help the world. Our special function has been assigned to us because it fits us perfectly. As we learn to sing ‘our song’, we and the world are healed.
The extent to which we live our purpose is the extent to which we will be truly happy. But uunfortunately, we are ‘more afraid of our light than of our darkness’, as Marianne Williamson said.
Our biggest traps and heartbreaks are defenses against our purpose, and show us how much our fear-based mind wants to hide from it. At the deepest unconscious level of our mind we created all of our problems as an excuse to not live our purpose.
Do you see how we have it set up? Our purpose is our greatest happiness but we currently believe it is sacrifice, at best, and purgatory at worst.
Hmm, no wonder this world is nuts. Would you like to start getting saner? Right now!
