Day 77
Faith can positively impact our lives, no matter what shape it takes. Now, I’m not only talking about religious or spiritual faith, I’m also talking about having faith in life itself.
Many studies have shown that believers lead happier lives. It is true that religion gives an explanation and purpose to our existence. Therefore, it is likely to appease people’s worries about the future and get them through difficult times.
Also, being part of a community of people who share your beliefs helps develop a sense of belonging. A friend of mine recently joined a Buddhist practice. It has not only brought her a new sense of purpose, but also a group of new acquaintances with whom she can engage on a spiritual level.
Faith does not necessarily require a belief in a higher being or energy. You could have faith in life: faith that things will work out fine, that you will get that job you’re desperately seeking for, that you will find a way to pay those bills, that your children will be happy and balanced throughout their lives, faith that things happen for a reason.
There is an important difference between hope and faith. Hope is the desire to see something happen. Faith is the indubitable knowledge that things always turn out the way they should.
It’s not always easy to have faith. Because of negative experiences, people often lose it. To gain it back, you really need to work at reconnecting with your deeper self. When you succeed, faith can really help alleviate worries and stress. In the end, no matter the outcome, if you keep believing that everything will be alright, you are bound to benefit from a better state of mind. ALLELUIA!
