Keep the Faith and Make the Possible Absolutely Possible

Think back to your school days when you had finished that brutal test in history class, and you knew a passing grade was not possible.  You just knew you had blown every answer to the questions on the American civil war and so you flunked the test for sure.

Then, miracle of all miracles, two days later the teacher handed back your test paper and it had a passing grade on it!  How could that be?  But, you didn’t argue about it, did you? ☺

As they say…” Oh, ye of little faith.”  You didn’t have the faith it was possible to pass that test and, yet, you passed.  In that situation, you probably got lucky, right?

Well, life can deliver similar challenges but on a grander scale than a school history test.  However, it takes faith to successfully meet those challenges.  

Luck can’t be the only source of success in real world situations.







What follows digs a little deeper into the whole topic and what it takes to have such faith.

“Keep the faith and all things are truly possible.”

That’s if you truly understand WHY you want what it is you are pursuing.  Without a viscerally felt WHY, faith turns to hope, and the dream reduces to a wish.

You don’t just wish for heartfelt dreams.  You have enough faith in yourself and you achieve them!

• Where are you in your trek through life? 
• Are you where you want to be? 
• If you're not where you want to be, what will it take to get there? 
• When will you start doing what it will take?

If you've invested the time to answer the above four questions for yourself, you're on solid footing for a very rewarding future. If you haven't taken that time, then there's little hope you will get where you want to go by the time you want to get there.

But, this post isn't about hope! It's about faith.

More specifically, it is about the depth of faith in yourself that you need to achieve anything you want.  Anything you want? Hmmm. That's sounds unrealistic, right?

Wrong! With a deep, abiding faith in yourself, anything is literally possible. It's just a matter of time and effort.

You might be asking, why is that true? Tell me more.

Well, let's put it in the context that Voltaire once did. For those of you who don't know, Voltaire was one of France’s greatest writers and philosophers. On the subject of faith, he said:

"Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. It is not enough that a thing be possible for it to be believed."

Thus, it is not enough for you to just believe it is possible that something you want can be achieved. If you truly want it, you must have the faith you will get it even if it seems to be impossibly out of reach.

Your greatest limitation is your capacity to have faith that the impossible can be made possible.

Keep the faith and all things are truly possible!

What can you do to turn hope for one of your dreams into faith you can make it possible?  List 3 steps and act on each of them.
