To Believe

Upon the Stoa this day, I am pondering what it means to have beliefs.

One truth I do know is that it is easy to believe in something when you are comfortable. To have faith is easy when one's faith is not seriously challenged.

"It will work out, God watches over us." The operative word there is "watches". There is no promise that things will work out. It is hard to have faith when one is faced with homelessness.

It is hard to believe that one is special when every door seems closed to you.

The alternative, though, is to give up. This is not a viable alternative. One must press forward, regardless of belief or faith, or else failure in life is no longer a possibility but a certainty.

It is easy to have faith when one is comfortable.

Live well,
