Faith

Doubt sees what is – Hope sees what is and can be – Faith sees what is and will be

When people ask me how I can be so sure that the outcome will be in my favor, I always refer to faith. Then, they look at me as if I am a lunatic, or I am speaking another language. I feel that we have become so disillusioned with everything that doubting seems much easier than believing. Of course, it is much easier to look at what's wrong, accept that we can't fix it, and then just sit back, than to do something about it- something as simple as believing! I am myself guilty of such thoughts sometimes- but, I have learnt to recognize and change my mental state because my physical reaction to negativity is so pronounced. We sit and complain about how bad things just keep happening to us- Well, if we expect something, it will happen. Negativity attracts more of the same.

It is not easy to believe that things will be golden when we're going through the worst, but once we train our mind to think in that way, it can get us through any struggle that life presents us with.
