Life: filled with IFs



it's easy to have faith or say that you have faith when things are going well and you are surrounded by so many positive things. But the true question rises, when things are hard, when you feel like you want to call it a quit, or when you feel like there's no point in even living. That's when you know how strong your faith is. so, let me ask you a question... How strong is your faith?!

What does faith mean?! According to Oxford Dictionary, the word "faith" has two meanings

1: Complete trust or confidence in someone or something
2: Strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.

I don't know what you believe in, it could be something spiritual, or your dream or goal. or even yourself, that's your choice. But, once you make that decision to believe in something, you will have more strength to move forward. and it's just because you believe in it. It's simple as that. To have faith, to believe/trust in something that's unseen or yet to come, it requires a lot of strength and commitment, especially when things are rough. And the fact is, we will never know what will happen to us. Again, we want to have that control in our lives, and want to be in charge of what's happening in our lives, but we don't and we never will be. We are only in charge of our action and the way we see the world/Universe for what it is and how it is. Because this place is so much bigger than us. 

Life is a mystery. It's been that way and it will be. There are more things we don't know than we know. there are more people we'll never meet than we could possibly imagine. Life is filled with "IF"s. 

L-IF-E. 

Everything that we have in common is the fact that we are born into this world, and we will eventually die and end our lives. That's it. Everything in between, is the collection of "IF"s. We don't know. And the best part is that we get to write it however we want! We can take actions in however way we want. We can enjoy life as much as we want. Not only that we need to have faith in the middle of the storm when things are tough, we are always living in the middle. We always need to have faith no matter what.Then the next question will be this, How strong is your faith?! Can you lay down on the boat in the middle of the storm when the waves are going nuts, believing that this too shall pass?! Can you keep your faith when everything and everyone else is against you? 

It's struggle, isn't it?! It's a life work. It's not easy. So whatever it is that you believe in, you better believe it. Because life is going to challenge you in the way you might not be prepared for. So, have a strong faith in something. You are amazing. and you are stronger than you can imagine. You are capable of fighting things that's against you. You are great.

Love,
