THE POWER OF FAITH

I have always known that we are what we believe in. Fortunately, we can choose what to believe in consciously and responsibly. We often say things to ourselves and if we repeat these things many times, we reprogram our brain subconsciously and it starts acting towards materialising those thoughts. For example, if we repeated to ourselves that we were born under a lucky star and we deserved only the best, then this would be what we would strive to accomplish. On the contrary, if someone told us that we sang out of tune and we believed in this, we would never attend singing lessons and would never dare to sing in public.

However, if we chose to ignore the feeling of being offended and we turned it into ambition by training our voice, singing in front of an audience, etc. then the possibility of us becoming professional singers would be huge because we chose not to believe in what that person told us but instead we believed that we could achieve anything if we tried hard enough. Faith changes everything. Everything you do today, you do thanks to your beliefs and expectations. If you want to change something, you had better start with them. Change always happens from the inside out. I have always known that we are what we believe in.

It is a good practice to reconsider our values and beliefs regularly so that we can remove every boundary which prevents us from living happily. Actually, one comes from the other.

Today I came across an article describing an experiment in which scientists put mice into a container filled with water. They swam for about 10 minutes until they realized that there is no way out and they surrendered. Just before they drowned, the scientists saved them, dried them, let them rest for some time and put them back into the container. This time, the mice swam for more than 60 hours knowing that eventually they would be saved.

This experiment made a huge impression on me and made me rethink the way I live my life and the way I do certain things. There are times when I feel like I’m losing faith. Then I remember that if I lose hope and faith, everything will crumble. Faith brings hope. We hope that something will happen when we truly have faith in it. While we have hope and faith, we are the rulers of our world. Hope and faith come from the loving heart which always believes in the good in people and the beauty of our dreams. I wanted to remind you of this and to bring hope, faith and love back to your life so that they give you strength while you are following your dreams.

Love, trust, hope, because while you’re doing it, you are the master of your life and everything is in your hands.
