Happiness is an attribute of love. It cannot be apart from it. Nor can it be experienced where love is not. --A Course in Miracles, Lesson 102
This is why forgiveness is the key to happiness. When we hold grievances and judge others we are out of alignment with love. When we are out of alignment, it is not possible for us to be truly happy.
We may have fleeting moments of happy experiences, but deep true abiding happiness can never be a significant and lasting factor in our lives until we forgive the world around us.
Many of us look at our lives and think, "But I have a good job and I found the right spouse. We have money to live on and a comfortable house and children that are healthy and busy. I must be happy."
Comfort and busyness are not happiness. They are pale shadows for true happiness. In true happiness, we feel a deep trust and utter knowing that we are completely supported, infinitely valued and always cared for in every way. We are joyful and loves flows from us and into us.
This is the happiness that a forgiveness lifestyle brings.
