Keeping the Inner Faith

Whether you find faith in yourself, others or a higher source, stick with it and you'll make it through.

The only thing you can predict about the future with 100% certainty is that time will continue to pass and the world will continue to move forward.  Sure, there are calculated results you can measure and guide your decisions around the most realistic outcomes... but in the end, you'll never really know for sure.

You do what makes the most sense.  You follow a plan that has proven successful in the past.  You do what feels right.

Why?  Because of Inner Faith.

Faith is defined as "Complete trust or confidence in someone or something [src: dictionary.com]"... it can be faith in yourself, faith in others, faith in a higher being, faith in the universe, or anything else that inspires that trust or confidence.

This trust, in the most simplistic terms, is a feeling that the result will be worth the effort.

And despite the advantages that come from having greater experience, greater education, greater luck, etc., the common thing that all successful individuals have is faith...  the positive attitude that whatever their faced with, or trying to build, will ultimately turn out for the best.

It is important to keep this in mind when you encounter times of hardship.  If you've started a new project, but can't seem to finish.  If you've been trying to grow a business, but feel stuck in neutral.  If those around you can't understand your vision, and you begin to question yourself as well.  These are the times when you must have faith.

The secret to perseverance and finding longevity starts with having faith.  Faith pulls you through.  Faith is motivator for demonstrating trust and confidence.  Whether it is faith in yourself, or faith in those around you, or faith from another source, you stick with it and you'll make it through.

If you don't believe it's possible to find your inner sage, nor have faith that you can guide yourself to greatness, it will be very difficult to find success.  Faith is the fuel to achieving success.  Never underestimate the power or the need for faith.
