Day 294 – Let Your Faith Do the Hard Work

We all have faith in something. We are human. It is inevitable. It might even be what makes us human. Our ability to act for ourselves is due in large part to our faith, our hope, our ability to conceive of something greater then what we have.

I feel that faith is powerful regardless of the source. You may reject that notion, but consider the fact that perhaps the more true and correct the source is, the more powerful the result when faith is applied toward it.

The ultimate truth, whatever that is, must be such a vast wellspring of power that faith in it created life.

If you even remotely believe that above sentence consider that in regards to what you have faith in. I am certain that most people have faith, or at least a hope, that the direction they are aimed at will produce a better result then they are currently getting.

So if you do have faith in something, someone, some institution, some religion, some god, or perhaps the God – consider what you believe the promise of that faith to be. Most likely you think that the thing you have faith in will elevate you in some way, advance you beyond your own individual abilities. If this is true – then I am recommended letting that faith do the hard work and instead focus on the simple easy things that you can control directly and immediately today.

The power of faith is the ability to suspend the impossible, in pursuit of the path, and in so doing providing a way for you to become a better person. Faith should be a verb, describing an action. You put faith in the simple and by so doing the entity that you have faith in will rise you above the impossible.

True or not, it works. This has been a manifest part of the human condition for many thousands of years. That is the pragmatic view, but pragmatism is the central theme of all religion. It gives you the daily things that you need to do to demonstrate your faith, whereby elevating your life routine to be more complete and whole.

Dont get me wrong, I love the truth. The pursuit of it is part of my core, but I take guidance from the ultimate pragmatist when he said:

I am the way, the truth and the life.

If you have faith in something, then use it. Stop blaming your past, your weakness, your fear. Rely on your faith and start doing the small and simple things. Let your faith do the hard part.
