Have you achieved some of your dreams and goals and expect to achieve more, or have you give up the unequal struggle, and settled for whatever you can get? Do you think that life is wonderful and full of happiness, or find it too much of an effort and can't be bothered anymore? Answers these questions truthfully and if the answer is the latter, then you need “Faith Finders” to believe in yourself again.
Do you deserve to seek changes in your life? I doubted that it was possible. How could “a leopard change it's spots?” Surely real and lasting change is impossible.
Well I'm living proof that it isn't. You can change your life. I have. It takes effort and dedication to do it and sometimes you catch yourself backsliding. How do you do it? The missing key is faith. Believe you can and all is possible.
My life had become purposeless. Going to a dead-end job everyday, which brought in little reward monetarily or spiritually, life went on in its trivial way. My father had died and a five-year long court battle ensured, with the ugly stepmother. After this was resolved I had to look long and hard at my life. Why was I here? To go to work everyday endlessly? To socialize with family and friends endlessly? According to most lives this seemed to be the purpose. To work, have children and exist until an old age when life suddenly finished. I realized that my mother had died at 48, so you were lucky to have an old age. I thought, “Face reality now or you might never even get to face it”.
But what could I do? Religion preached of an angry God who if appeased would allow you into heaven. Was this right? Were there only the two alternatives: live life always looking over your shoulder in case you stuffed up, or live life aimlessly with no belief in anything, except maybe science helping you to lead a better life in the future.
There had to be another way that lead to happiness and fulfillment. There had to be a way of peace and light, that people could lead, and end up in a balanced and centered life. Surely if there was a higher power he wouldn't want a life full of sacrifice and asking for forgiveness. After all what were we perpetually asking to be forgiven for anyway? Being ourselves? Most people were constantly striving for a better life for themselves and their children, so why ask to be forgiven for this?
My only way forward to find the answers to these questions, was with faith. I had to believe the still, small voice within me, telling me that answers were possible. To then believe the answers when given, and use faith in myself to apply these answers and incorporate them into my life. Everyone when asked what do they need most in finding the answers to life, must surely reply, “More faith”.
I was looking for guidance to understand myself and the direction to head in. The key of faith can only be used with an open and receptive heart. The road to this is through a peaceful mind and relaxed body. The ways to open the doors forward in life, were being gradually shown to me. Through openness and peacefulness you become a receptor of the answers you need in your life. Through faith you begin to believe those answers and directions you are being shown.
Drawing the guidance towards you and having the balance to use it, is what will change your life and when you are ready, bring the rewards you are looking for. You will feel the energy return to your body.
I was passing someone a piece of paper, and we both got an electric shock from it. That's your power returning. Knowing what to do from within yourself, that's your peace returning. Feeling in charge of your life again, that's your faith returning.
Faith will take you back to the simplicity of life. In this sophisticated age, simple has come to mean untrue and not good enough. If something is to be useful and true, it must be scientific and complex, filled with logically tortuous statements that fill the reader with awe. We are lead to the conclusion, that nothing at a basic level could ever be believed.
Faith has lead me to the understanding that simple is best. The more convoluted the explanation, the more questionable it becomes. Lead your life back to grass roots, as this is what all thirst for.
From there anything is possible. Go forward to a life full of happiness and abundance. This is what I have always chosen for you and that you should be having. Just have the faith to live it.
The mind can only proceed so far upon what it knows and can prove. There comes a point where the mind takes a leap – call it intuition or what you will – and comes out on a higher plane of knowledge. Albert Einstein
