I am a firm believer in the power of faith. If I’m honest, most days I believe that faith can move mountains and that nothing is impossible when we tap into our strength through faith. However, there are some days where I work hard to hang on to that “mustard seed” of faith.
We’re not even a month into the new year and already my faith has been tested several times. I find myself having to move differently and consciously choosing to trust that everything will work out. Having faith doesn’t come with an easy switch, however, it requires dedication to stay strong in believing and having hope for better days ahead. Many days, all I had to rely on was my belief that things would get better and that there is a plan for me even if I couldn’t see it right away.
In addition to prayer, having a strong support system around me has also been incredibly helpful in maintaining my level of faith. From close friends to family members to clients who remind me that no one is ever going through life alone.
This year, I have such a large vision for my personal and professional life. I know I will need to lean on my family, friends and clients for support. There are so many of you who have already stepped up for me and I appreciate you so much. I trust that each of you are in my life for a reason and I express gratitude for you every day.
Ultimately, staying true to your beliefs takes dedication and consistency if you want your level of faith to remain strong over time. This means being intentional about carving out time each day to remain in alignment, focusing on the positives rather than the negatives, and creating a supportive environment around yourself so that you never feel alone while walking down your own personal path towards success.
In the end I remind myself that my vision is always greater than my reality. As long as I am intentional and acting on purpose, I will be fine.
I want the same for all of you.
Take Care,
Lakisha.
