New Life Takes Faith
“Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark”- Rabindranath Tagore
Regardless of where you are now, regardless of what your current situation in life is – you have everything you need right now, at this moment, to start taking small steps in changing and achieving whatever you want.
Being aware of this truth means believing in yourself.
There is a more extraordinary life for you. It’s up to you to believe, and it’s up to me to share the benefits I have from believing.
Let’s start with the question- what is a more extraordinary life for you?
Here is what an extraordinary life is for me. I see myself as a healthy and abundant person, surrounded by deep and honest relationships, living in peace with myself, having freedom and joy in my mind and heart, and doing only things I find valuable and genuinely enjoy.
But, to sustain our faith, more than just a vision like this is required.
We need to think more specifically about the future we want to create. We need to imagine what that life looks like for us.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”- Albert Einstein
Have you ever thought about what you genuinely want if there are no limitations regarding money, time, age, level of education, your current skills & knowledge, or the disease you might have?
People are not thinking about their dreams because they don’t believe they can live them. But faith is what gives us the power to change – constantly improve ourselves and grow.
Faith and imagination will make you step on your life-changing, transformational growth journey, and you will start making healthier, braver, and more constructive choices in the present.
It will become easier for you to maintain self-discipline and focus on your growth. And you will start creating more energy, momentum, productivity, flow, and self-confidence in the now.
Most importantly, you will start feeling more fulfilled. You will begin to replace short-term, usually harmful pleasers, with productive activities that will create long-term, deeply fulfilling results.
Faith is something we are building
“You have to believe it before you see it.”
Before achieving any tangible result, you must believe you can do, learn, and change whatever is necessary to live your desired life.
The great thing is that faith is something we are building. We are building our faith by changing our thoughts and beliefs that don’t serve our higher good, and by surrounding ourselves with people, books, content, and music that inspire us.
When we start thinking new thoughts and genuinely believe in ourselves, we create new neuropathways in our brains, which means we are reprogramming our subconscious mind. And the result is that we are naturally starting to do things aligned with our new beliefs.
I’m not saying that creating your new life will be easy – life is not easy. Your new life takes a willingness to learn and practice what you are learning, courage to make crucial decisions and act, hard work through self-discipline to change your habits and behavior, and time to see results and changes in your life.
But I guarantee your life will be more profound, purposeful, authentic, and joyful.
And faith is the starting point that gives us the power to keep going forward, growing, and meeting every obstacle that crosses our path.
And there is one important thing we must keep in our mind: our future is not more important than our present- but is essential to our present reality. Our future is our guiding star that helps our current reality be more pleasant, productive, fulfilling, joyful, and purposeful.
But life is a journey, and if we want to enjoy life fully, so we must align our faith and imagination with our passions. And then nothing can stop us from pursuing our dreams because failures become only lessons and reasons to learn and grow.
The heart speaks the language of the soul, and our unique purpose lies deep in our souls. We must learn to listen to the heart because it knows the way.
The journey is inside of us. It is an internal game that our soul guides using the language of the heart so that we can create that game outside by the power of our minds.
