The Energy Of Faith

What we believe becomes reality. It has been said that faith can move
mountains. The highest mountains are our negative thoughts, feelings and
ideas, which block our capacity to rise beyond our limits.

*Faith is the energy of understanding that enables us to realize anything is
possible even if it is not visible in front of our eyes.*

*
The success that comes from faith is closely linked with 'letting go'*. It
is only when we let go of what we are used to, or what we have learnt to
depend on, that new perceptions and new possibilities will present
themselves to us.

All that is needed are a few basic facts and then we can take action. When
we drive a car, do we insist on knowing how the engine works in detail
before driving it? Do we know the mechanical details of a lift before we use
it? Most people are only aware of the basic functions and this is all they
need to carry out the action. However, they do have the faith that the car
has been correctly constructed to do its job safely and that by pressing a
few buttons the lift will raise them to wherever it is they want to go. In
the modern life-style, there is a tendency to over-think, to want to control
and direct every outcome, but such a life lacks spontaneity and simplicity.

Although we do need a framework, it must be flexible enough to allow space
for the unexpected, the unpredictable and the great surprise. Such a space
is the window through which the light of innovation can enter. When life is
over-planned, we become cemented in, unable to grow, or flow, into new
horizons. Faith allows us to realize that optimum results can happen without
always having to structure or plan. Such faith is the basis for new vision
and allows us to reach beyond our limits; because we believe we are more
than what meets the eye. Such faith is the inspirational energy of every
pioneer in whatever field.
