Challenges
I previously wrote a blog regarding courage and what exactly is it that makes one conjure up courage where we only feel fear and are able to overcome challenges/obstacles. To me it is faith. Recently I have experienced several major challenges. More than I can ever remember during my life. And they are all unfamiliar circumstances to me, a strange feeling. Like a dance where you don’t know the steps. And while I have always tried to be a positive person and by nature I am a problem solver. This time suddenly it seemed overnight my dance card was filled with complicated dances and I didn’t know any of them. I thought one, maybe two I could deal with it, learn the steps but boom life threw at me not 1, not 2 but 6 unfamiliar and frightening situations. I couldn’t see the solutions to any of them. I became depressed, I spent a whole day in bed crying, which is not me at all. And then my faith began to work on the logical part of my brain. Challenges are opportunities in disguise. There is an answer somewhere. There is always something positive if you look for it. Multiple challenges were simply multiple opportunities, faith at work on a greater level. Faith in multiple quantities. So, I was able to refocus and begin to tackle these opportunities one at a time. Keep walking toward the door and when I need it to open, it will. The difference in hope and faith, is knowing. There is no hope, there is only a belief it will all work out. So I chose to focus on my belief and know the answers will come, the doors will open. Having faith is a powerful, peaceful feeling but you have to allow it to function in your life, to fill up your spirit with no limitations. Because the basic truth is love and faith have no limits.
