FAITH
An essential part of Life.

“If you have faith, you have everything.” Faith, at its core is intrinsic in the
notion of good things to come. Faith is a belief in the heart that goes beyond
hope as most of the hope lives in the mind. It is concealed from sight and
cannot be justified or explained by any logic or reason through a solitary
dimension.
As individuals, we have a certain goal or a plan and sometimes, when we
fail to attain it or go according to the plan, we lose faith, not just in ourselves but
any potential consequence of our lives. Yes, Failure does that to us. While
encountering life’s monumental failures, its uncomplicated to lose hope, and
even FAITH. But, with stronger faith, it gives a sense of security and deep down
inside, that things will get better; let your faith be bigger than your fears.
We cannot drive our vehicles or cross the busy streets lacking faith that
someone wouldn’t cross the divider and crash into us. If we didn’t have faith,
how could we perhaps possibly fly in an aeroplane, a metallic machine soaring
35,000 feet in the air? In the absence of faith, how could we move from one
moment to the next without downright second-guessing every last thing we did?
Lacking faith, we couldn’t surmise that things would turn out all right for us no
matter what the circumstances maybe.
Faith, then, is just as dominant and powerful as the air we breathe.
While the oxygen in the air nourishes the body, faith nourishes and
nurtures the heart and the soul. It’s the spark of passion that courses
through every single fibre and cell within our beings. It’s a part of every

!1
muscle and every strand of image or thought. It is the basal foundation of
our existence and our reality. Mankind has moved mountains with their
faith. Even when circumstances seemed dire and bleak, it was their faith
that carried them through. There’s little to no explanation for it in the
physical realm; it’s the metaphysical fibre that holds us together and binds
us all, accepting each of our deepest wishes and desires. That’s where faith
exists.
Faith is the alleyway for profusion, so be sure to hold it at the forefront
of your mind. Never be afraid to expect the very best for yourself. This
isn’t about being selfish, egoistic or aimlessly wishing for things; this is
about the belief in your heart that things will revamp, and that you deserve
the very best in life.Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Little by little,
a bit of us is broken, until someday, we dig deep down inside and somehow
find the strength we needed to make it through. That strength comes from
our FAITH. Believe and hope that good things will happen, and they will.
In life, if you really want something, and I mean you really want it deep
down inside and you have a powerful reason, faith is the thing that helps
you to see that through. It’s at the core of a determined heart. Never give
up on your dreams and your hopes just because you faced some initial
setbacks. Lean on your faith as often as possible and you’ll soon come to
realise why having unwavering faith is so important in life. Thus, Faith it
till you make it.
Talking hypocritically, if you don’t make it, even after the enormous
tries and handwork, stay along with one saying which I strongly believe in,
“ Never Say Never” because you never know. And by that I mean, you
never know what you could’ve achieved if you said NO without even
giving the opportunity you try. It is always better to fail in something with a

decision that you took for yourself rather than failing in something in a
decision made by someone else. “It is not the size of the dog in the fight. But, the
size of the fight in the dog.” The fight is yours, my friend . Don’t let anyone else
decide for you, you only live once. Live it. Make it till you break it. Also,
yeah..just realised I’ve been using too many quotes. But I’m not sorry
because thats what inspires me the most and I hope that it does the same to
you too. Its a miracle how a few words can explain so much about this
beautiful life that we let live everyday. Its also astonishing on how a person,
word, sentence or a quote may even save a mans life. Life is….? Well, there
are a zillion answers for that question but mainly, its yours. I repeat, LIFE
IS YOURS. Live it. Love it. Don’t regret for your choices. Have your
opinions. Make your own decisions. Because In the end, its all about you.
TBH, you will never regret the choices or the decisions that you made at
your own will even if it doesn’t end in the way it was supposed to. Make
mistakes because in the end of the day, just like yours, the mistakes are
yours too and from these mistakes, you learn, learn about yourself and
about life. Mistakes take you to new places. They make you be more
decisive. They bring faith in yourself. And thats all what life is about. Once
again, Life is about you. Cherish every moment. The opportunities thrown
down at us
