Faith

Talking about faith we often end up talking about religion. The next few minutes are my intention to inspire you to see faith in a different light.

What is faith?
At the core, faith means believing in something we don’t know.
Believing in something we don’t know means having trust in what we can’t see.
Trusting in what we can’t see, is knowing that we will learn the lessons we need to learn.

Having faith and trust is hard to do in a society that is centered around material values and scientific data.
If we can’t touch or prove something, does it then really exist?

It’s hard to wrap your head around it but stay with me…
Imagine being at home with your partner or a friend, you are both in different rooms. You are in the kitchen and accidentally drop and break a glass of water.
Now ask yourself; did this actually happen?
Yes it did, but only in your reality.
If the other person didn’t hear the glass breaking, it didn’t happen in their reality. The only thing you can do is go and tell your partner or friend what happened, or show them the broken glass and water on the floor. The other person needs to automatically have trust or faith in what happened. No matter what you’ll say or show someone, you will still have your own unique experience, and that is beautiful! Unfortunately it does happen that our words and actions are misunderstood by others, but only because we all live in very different unique realities.

How could we explain to our partner or friend that we broke their favorite glass, because we tripped? If they don’t trust our words they will still be upset with us. Which is understandable. That is why we say actions speak more than words. Act with faith, because acting with faith means detaching yourself from any outcome. You can only act with pure, kind and clear intentions in your heart. After you acted you then need to have trust, because you can’t control how someone else perceives them.
