Faith is such a big word and yet many never stop to take in the full meaning of it. I've spoken with so many people lately that have desires to do more with their life but, like me at times they have put those desires on the back burner. For some it's because of their economic situation and for others it's simply fear of the unknown or the dreaded "what if". For me the definition that I like best is God's in the NIV of the bible "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." So with this description let's disect this. You have to be certain of what "it" is you want. I know it sounds simple huh? Not quite. See, if you send out mixed signals or ask for things that aren't quite clear that's exactly what you will get in return.
You can't fixate on the things that you want as a result of what you asking for. I know because that's exactly what I was doing. I knew what I wanted the end result to be "the benefits" that is, but that's not good enough to actually make it happen. Now being certain of what we do not see, simply use your imagination. As children we are taught to dream and imagine. As we become older we loose site of what dreaming does. Did you know that the brain can't tell the difference between reality and dreams? So why not start thinking outside the box or yourself to manifest some amazing things.
I can not believe everything that is in me! I mean really, I just can't believe it. I never would have thought in a million years that I Charmaine could break the addiction to food but here I am now feeling the best I've felt in almost 10 years and I'm only 32 lol! I didn't know that I had so many dreams, I mean I knew I had ambitions but the things that are starting to show up now are simply surprising. What's shocking me is that it was always there! I was just too scared to ever act on it. I've tested the water and now I'm jumping in head first. It feels good! It's funny how life can be sometimes, you hear all the time how we hold ourselves back. I had to completely rewire my brain and thoughts in order to realize exactly what I wanted in life and how to get it.
I've tried not to put too many irons in the fire as this is a very exciting time for me and I want to do it all! I'm calm and for the first time I'm watching everything I've painted come to life. Can you even imagine? I feel like I have a magic pencil and if I draw it comes to life. With that same pencil I've erased all the things from the past (they no longer count) and my future looks real bright. I'm taking gigantic leaps of faith and you should too! If you are not where you want to be in life or you don't have what you want or even need change your thoughts, take more chances, and step out on faith.
Mark Twain-"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
