I work in a printshop.
One day everything kept going wrong while working on the collator.
The lesson (from A Course In Miracles) of that day was: "I can only be
affected by my own thoughts."
With every attempt I made to make the collator function
properly I had that lesson in my mind, knowing that my salvation (and
happiness!) lay in APPLYING the lesson!. However, matters got only worse
and I felt frustration creeping in.
Finally I got it: I was still depending on my thoughts
in order to be happy; in this case - 'the collater should work properly',
and I let that thought go.
Guess what, I got very, very happy.......... and guess
what, the collator started working as it should. Only for a moment though,
but hey... I REMAINED HAPPY!!
