'I have said that you cannot change your mind by changing your behaviour, but I have also said, and many times, that you can change your mind.
When your mood tells you that you have chosen wrongly, and this is so whenever you are not joyous, then know this need not be.
In every case you have thought wrongly about some brother God created, and are perceiving images your ego makes in a darkened glass.
Think honestly what you have thought that God would not have thought, and what you have not thought that God would have you think.
When you are sad, know this need not be.
Depression comes from a sense of being deprived of something you want and do not have.
Remember that you are deprived of nothing except by your own decisions, and then decide otherwise.
When you are anxious, realize that anxiety comes from the capriciousness of the ego, and know this need not be.
You can be as vigilant against the ego's dictates as for them.
Watch your mind for the temptations of the ego, and do not be deceived by it.
It offers you nothing.
When you have given up this voluntary dis-spiriting, you will see how your mind can focus and rise above fatigue and heal.
Yet you are not sufficiently vigilant against the demands of the ego to disengage yourself.
This need not be.' (A Course In Miracles)
If uncertain, ask God
If no answer comes, no answer is due
Which means the uncertainty is not mine to resolve
Everything is in God's hands
Except the one task at hand
Move slowly from task to task
Rest in God in between
