Summary

The article emphasizes the importance of having faith, not just in a religious context, but as a profound trust in life's process, the universe, and oneself, recognizing that life has a purposeful course for each individual.

Abstract

The text discusses the concept of faith beyond religious boundaries, framing it as a form of trust in the journey of life and the belief that everything unfolds as it should. It encourages readers to see beyond their immediate circumstances and remember the faith they hold in the universe or a higher power, as defined by their own beliefs. The author, inspired by a personal story of struggle and perseverance, suggests that faith is about recognizing one's purpose and the bigger picture of life. It's about trusting that no matter the challenges, one is guided and cared for. The article advocates for self-trust, the power of choosing peace over suffering, and aligning with the flow of life rather than resisting it.

Faith is not all about religion, sometimes it is only about trust. Trusting the process of life and let it unfold at its own pace.

We get so dwelled in our lives that we forget life is more than what you can perceive at the given moment.

To remember your faith is to remember the trust you have for the universe, source, nature whatever resonates with your soul.

“Have Faith in yourself, but also have faith in faith. Not faith as others define it. Faith as you define it. Faith as faith defines itself in your heart.” ~ Phil Knight

You need to keep reminding yourself that you are bigger than your problems and the situation that you’re facing in your finite human life.

Your life is bigger than you perceive and once you adopt this new vision to see a bigger version of your life, your faith becomes stronger and you will know that no matter what happens to you, you will always be taken care of.

Have faith in yourself. Have faith that nature put you here on earth for a reason and that reason is not to make you suffer.

Your mind makes assumptions that make you suffer. You have the power to choose your peace.

I used to be great at worrying and overthinking.

I lacked faith in bulk.

After hearing a story about my father’s struggle and how it all managed to get him to the place he was needed to be in, I realized no matter what I will do, my life will draw me towards a course that is right for my soul.

Have faith that the universe has a bigger purpose than yours.

You can see it but you will know you’re walking too because it will feel right to you.

The trick is to focus on the flow and not “how you want it to be”.

It is about making decisions and going with the flow and not resisting the consequences of actions.

To the peace that dwells within.
