You gotta have Faith!

March 23, 2007

It?s easy to believe in an abundant and loving Universe when everything is going well. You?re swimming with the tide, the wind is at your back and you?re coasting along, full of the joys of life!

Then you hit a speed bump and begin to wobble and, although you try your best to hold on to that positive attitude, the doubt starts to creep in. And the more the doubt gets a foothold, the more evidence to support it seems to appear.

It is at this point - when all physical evidence points to the contrary, when you most need to believe in an abundant and loving Universe but can?t see or feel it anymore ? that good old fashioned blind faith comes into play.

Faith is what you hold on to when the only other option is despair. Faith is what keeps you looking up and forwards when you only want to look down and backwards. Faith is what sustains you when there is absolutely nothing else.

How do you develop faith? I think it has to start with hope. If you can find even a tiny spark of hope in any situation, you can nurture that hope until it becomes faith that a positive outcome is possible. As your faith gets stronger, that positive outcome begins to look probable.

Then one day you notice that you believe in an abundant and loving Universe and you?re on top of the world again.

Until the next time!

Life?s a circle!
