Where Is Your Faith?

By Brandon Gaskins

    Ask most people where does their faith lay and they will point to their religion; I question why they are not able to separate the two.   I am not here to judge one's belief or spiritual healing, just as long as you are in the business of spreading love. In my opinion, religions are great at providing someone who is depleted spiritually a base to rebuild themselves from the inside out. No person can become the best person they can be without having a spiritual base and a purpose. Most people find the latter of the two hard to achieve.  Living your life with a purpose requires great sacrifices and a lot of patience. However if you do not have faith you will never be able to live a purposeful life.

It is no small task to say I am going to live the rest of my life not taking the traditional path that everyone else takes, that I am willing to become the hunter instead of being hunted. Meaning you are willing to pursue your dreams instead of expecting things to happen on their own. The reason why there are not more entrepreneurs is because people are scared of taking a risk, they are so dependent on a paycheck that they never get a chance to live a life where their dreams can become a reality.

    So many of us claim to have faith, when in reality most have little to none. Its the reason why we idolize celebrities and athletes so much, because we try to live vicariously through their success,instead of focus our attention on achieving our own dreams. You cannot measure your success by what someone else has done with their life. You have you own path to follow and that may not mean fame and fortune. However do not despair because we know fame and fortune sometimes comes with a price we are not willing to pay. If you dream of becoming your own boss, you must be determined and driven. You must stay the course when the waters get rough and doubt is tapping you on the shoulder. Life will not allow you to just simply wish things would change, it forces you to make decisions that will affect how you will live your life. Have the faith and courage to make the tough decisions or life will choose for you.
