Quote from A Course in Miracles Text Chapter 30 - THE NEW BEGINNING.

T-30.I.15. Your day is not at random. 2 It is set by what you choose to live it with, and how the friend whose counsel you have sought perceives your happiness. 3 You always ask advice before you can decide on anything. 4 Let this be understood, and you can see there cannot be coercion here, nor grounds for opposition that you may be free. 5 There is no freedom from what must occur. 6 And if you think there is, you must be wrong.
