Faith

The importance of faith in life cannot be over emphasised, it’s the most important thing to have and something you must never lose.

But what is faith?

Religion?

For many it is a religion or philosophy they follow. I do believe in God, not in the way I used to as a child but I still believe, and that’s definitely not something I ever want to lose. I genuinely believe that beliefs can be strengthening, acting as an anchor when we need one.

Money

Some people chase money all their lives, it seems to be the most important thing to them.

Is that a kind of faith? I don’t know. But money can be fickle, especially as those kind of people may never feel that they have enough money to be safe. Money is nice, it’s certainly great to have and I’m grateful for what we do have, but I would question whether it’s a rather weak anchor in times of trouble.

Other people

It may be faith in others, but that’s a pretty dodgy kind of faith, it can also be called giving away your power.

If the people around you are supportive and trustworthy then it certainly helps to have people that you have faith in. Yet how many of us have been disappointed in the past by people we honestly thought we could trust. Place your faith wisely.

The number one faith

Has to be in you.

I hadn’t thought about faith in a long time until I bought a book on the subconscious mind. Something I thought I knew something about and then it turned out that I knew very little about it.

I had no idea how important the subconscious is.

The thing that struck me the hardest when I randomly opened the book to get a feel of it was, that the author mentions the importance of faith as key to good mental health.

Faith in the self as well as in a deity

Faith that you are capable of managing your life, making good decisions, taking care of your wellbeing. Faith in who you are so that you aren’t randomly knocked off balance by the words and opinions of others.

Trusting your self is the strongest anchor

How to have faith

• Know yourself: Not the person others say you are, go inside and find out who you are.
• Work with what feels right: If something feels right to you then do that. Other people might try to talk you out of it because it would be wrong for them. It’s up to you to follow your own instincts.
• If you believe in a God trust that belief: Try to embody all the best of it. Never let anyone take that away. This is where it’s called faith for a reason, no proof just an inner knowing that it means something to you. Most people who believe in a God do try to be better people. Don’t lose the God that holds you up just because someone else doesn’t believe. It’s actually okay to believe in a being that does no harm, in fact it’s a good idea. It reminds you who you should be.
• Stay true to yourself: unless you find new information that feels right to you, then add that into the jigsaw puzzle that is you. Faith can always grow and develop, it doesn’t have to be stagnant.

Faith in yourself comes only from being yourself

At the end of the day, if you’re a confusion of everyone else then you will struggle to believe in yourself as the power in your life. As you are the only power in your life, that’s a bad thing.

Feel – learn – believe – be – trust
