Inner Faith and How to Use it

Faith is the act of believing in something's truth, even when circumstances may seem bleak or contradictory to the situation. Having faith can be hard for most, but I believe that is due to no one truly knowing how to use faith effectively. Faith is a beginning step to any project, belief, or action. You must first realize the possibility of the thing you are doing before you actually do it, this is faith.

One way you can harness faith when it is absolutely needed is to remember the reason you are on your journey, completing your goals. Take yourself back to the point at which the goal or journey was at its most potent, how much action did you take to assure yourself of complete success? What circumstance, situation, or mentality were you in that facilitated all the positive change? These are the questions you can ask yourself to instill more drive and faith when it is depleted. This is only one way to use faith.

Faith's next use is to instill patience. You believe you will wake up every day and go to work, don't you? This type of "matter of fact" faith is even inherent within the ego or false self. Faith in this form is in overabundance and unregulated. I digress, just know that everyone everywhere uses this, treat your project as ordinary and "every day", albeit knowing that it is special and worthy of completion, and you'll persevere.

Faith can also be used as a weapon against irregular thoughts, obstacles, and people. Imagine you could do anything of positive impact within the world, but you always fell a little short of your goals. You impacted people's lives, but not as many as you'd liked to. This scenario should be okay to most because you accepted what will happen is change, and that is the only thing a person can count on. When intrusive thoughts come into your mind or obstacles prevent you from progressing, apply the faith of change and know that whatever plagues you cannot and will not last forever. In layman's terms, quite literally, use Murphy's Law in your favor.

Applied faith also comes with the wherewithal to recognize and execute an ending. The one who masters applied faith knows when to destroy to prevent further destruction. Sometimes, someone or something needs to be separated or dismantled in order for growth to continue. This ending must be swift and final in order for its power to be unleashed.

Moving forward, you must know that faith is all that there is and can be. Without simple faith, there is nothing, having a trust in the act of belief stabilizes you to the degree of impregnability. This means that no one can disrupt or infiltrate your "self design" and aspirations with unfaithfulness, because without simple belief, you would cease to exist. Trusting thy-self is truly crucial in being a guide to success.

Faith can and will leave you completely from time to time…it can suddenly disappear without apparent cause, and when it does, know that you are being taught a lesson. You must interpret that message and lesson. However, the loss of faith is always a drastic one. When this happens, again, you will feel it. Most likely, you will have been avoiding an issue deep within oneself. Only when faith is removed can one see oneself completely broken. The end of the string of life is faith uncultivated.

Faith ain't what it seems and it's definitely not passive but active and dynamic. Use this knowledge and point them in this direction. Let's bring faith back to the seat it deserves, in exaltation. Remember, faith is a sword that can only be held by the wise and worthy.
