Have Faith

"Faith" is often referred to religion. So one without faith means one without a religion. But is faith only meant for religion?

"Faith' in the true sense of the word is holding firm on to something or someone that we believe in, even when others don't. But most of the time having faith is about being firm on something that cannot be seen or touched...those intangibles. So much so that when you have faith in something or someone, you need to have your own instinct, your own views and your own belief on why you have faith and it or her/him.

For example, we know that we are breathing air. Though we can't touch it or feel it or even see it, we know that it is air that we breath. And when we look at the running water, we can hear it flow and we can even touch it. But though we cannot hold it, we know that it is water that we feel. But generally, these are acceptable by others.


What about climbing the Mount Everest? Some people would say that it is an impossible feat. But to the mountain climbers...these are possible. Because they have faith in what they do. Or perhaps going around the world in a kayak? Or maybe being the most richest person in your country...or the world, even?

Have faith in all that you do..be it sports, business, work, studies, arts, whatever. For if you have faith in what you do, you would always do your best to make it through. And you would hold on to it no matter what others say about you or about the feat that you are trying to achieve.
