belief
bɪˈliːf/ [noun]
- an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof.
- trust, faith, or confidence in (someone or something).
I’m a big believer in believing. I think believe it’s important to have faith in something – no matter what that something may be. Something that makes you strive for a better tomorrow. Something that comforts you to feel peace at night. Something that you can entrust with all your wildest hopes, deepest desires and darkest dreams. Whether it’s a religion, a god, the universe or simply the magic of believing in yourself; how much better is LIFE when you have a little faith & that faith pays off?
When talking about the power of believing, the idea of positive manifestation instantly springs to mind. The notion that we can believe in something so much that we effectively project it into reality may seem crazy to some, but as my life unfolds I’m beginning to understand the concept more and more. In a way, it’s like Karma – you get what you give. What you put out into the world will undoubtedly come back to you in some way, shape or form. You become every thought that runs through your mind. You literally are what you think you are. Your actions dictate your whole being.
Imagine if you could think almost anything and make it happen simply through the power of positive thought? I’m going to take a big leap and say that I think, to a certain extent, you CAN. (If only this could work for magical powers like being able to fly, right?). Jokes aside, there are obvious exceptions and limits to the concept, but I believe that largely, you become what you are because of what you THINK and what you DO.
So, if we become our thoughts, then we best make them as smash-bang amazing as possible; and you can’t have great thoughts without having a little BELIEF. Especially a little belief in yourself.
