Keeping the Faith

What does it mean to have faith? I believe that no matter who you ask this question to, you will receive a different answer. My religious friends would tell you it is their belief in their higher power. My non-religious friends would tell you that having faith is about your beliefs. A simpler mind might say faith is synonymous with hope.

I would pose the theory that perhaps all definitions are correct. That perhaps when put together one would grasp the higher definition of the feeling behind faith. A higher definition that comes from the written laws of the universe.

Faith is a key ingredient when it comes to manifesting one’s life. Faith is the emotion that needs to be utilized when all things seem dark or dim. Faith is the power of taking one’s circumstances and changing them, molding them into something greater. Faith is the emotion that supersedes fear and coincides with unconditional love. Faith is living above fear in certainty that all of life’s needs will always be met. Faith means that you believe in yourself and in your ability to properly use your mind, living above the versions of self that are vibrationally low, and moving into that higher mind.

Faith is the energy that keeps you going when you feel defeated. Faith counter acts thoughts of fear that try to hold you in place. Faith allows that which was once just an idea in the mind to manifest physically here on this earthly plane. Faith is the expression of the God or the Source within you. Which is that spark of light we all came here with.

So how do we hold on to faith, or keep the faith when it seems like life isn’t going anywhere?

We do so by holding the emotion of faith in our hearts, supported by taking action, and by holding onto the belief that the Source of All will always provide. We do so by rejecting fear and all of its derivatives. We do so by transmuting fear, worry, and doubt into faith, joy, and pure happiness.

Sometimes this can hard when the world around us is living in fear mode. However, maybe this is what the world needs. To see those who reject fear by holding pure love in their hearts, making the world just a little bit lighter through their actions and spoken word.

How do we continually keep our faith?

Through positive thoughts, actions and beliefs. By taking physical action through meditations and mantras, not allowing the mind to be swayed by others who have tried and failed, by consistently visualizing success, good health, all needs being met and allowing our spiritual team to work out the rest. It is possible then to let go of control through the emotion of allowance, setting your intention, speaking positively about yourself, your goals, your aspirations, and what it is you’re manifesting.

Keep the faith by trusting in yourself, your spiritual team, the universe, and the Source of All. Take action behind that which you want to achieve. Let go of control. Allow the energy of the more of who you are to guide the way, all the while maintaining positive and healthy thoughts. Keep the faith by speaking it, thinking it, and feeling the way you are going to feel when you achieve your goals before they have come into fruition.

Keeping the faith is a daily thing that can also be achieved by giving thankfulness and gratefulness unto the universe as if what you are trying to succeed has already happened.

Faith really is hope that comes from within. Faith really is your belief system and faith truly is that part of us that comes from the Source of All.
