What is Faith?

“Faith is not just something you have, it’s something you do.” ~Barack Obama ~

One of the hardest things about creating one’s dream life is the need for faith. Faith is belief in something which is not seen , the unknown. Man has an inbred fear of the unknown so this sets up a conflict within self.

Attitude and belief are the factors that decide if one has faith. In this instance we are not talking about the faith of religion. The faith of religion is faith in someone, God or another divine being. It is faith in something outside of self.

The faith we cultivate in the Ultimate Healthy Lifestyle is faith in self and life. We try to have faith in our God-like self and the goodness of the Universe. This is not to say that religious faith cannot be used to create a dream life, but this faith is usually limited by the dogma of religion.

If we maintain a positive attitude and believe that life is good is is much easier to manifest our desires. If we believe life is good we get good, if we don’t then we don’t get good. In other words we get what we believe.

When we want something, acting as if we already have it brings it to us faster. This requires some amount of discipline on our part. I have mentioned the tools to cultivate this discipline and strengthen our faith.

These tools are meditation, visualization, affirmations, and self talk. Practicing these daily will result in better focus and has positive ramifications in all areas of life.

Part of the problem is that we are told we must live in the now. This is the only place where we have some control. We can control or actions and reactions and guide our choices. The choices we make in the now determine our future.

Live in the now but make it a habit to project into your future daily. Set aside some time to do this. When you project, run a movie in your mind and see yourself acting as if you already have that which you desire. As you do this, with faith that it will be, the universe will come to your aid.

You can cultivate belief, therefore you can cultivate faith. The mind does not know the difference between that which is real and that which is imagined. If you imagine something long enough it will become real. This is how we create.

Remember everything begins in the mind. Make your mind your friend and use it to manifest your dream life. Whatever the mind can see and believe can become reality.

TODAY’S TIP: Believe in miracles and your life will be filled with them.See the miracles in your mind, believe in them and they will become a part of your reality.
