Belief and Faith are a Perfect Couple.

Why is that some of our plans and desires never come together? I have a suggestion. There are two components to suggest. Belief and Faith. Belief, in my mind, relies more on what you bring to the table. Have you been well organized, diligent, committed, focused and driven to accomplish those things that you have set out to accomplish. Wikipedia defines belief as "a state of the mind, treated in various academic disciplines, especially philosophy and psychology, as well as traditional culture, in which a subject roughly regards a thing to be true." If this is true, it is your belief in yourself that is at the helm of your behaviors. That is great, but it is not belief alone that completes a vision. You also need a person, or persons, that believe in you and want to support your vision. While others around you believe, you in turn have to have faith in those people. First you have to connect with the appropriate person(s). Be very specific with whom you surround yourself. Be sure that these people are genuine and exhibit those same qualities that you possess. Once they have shown themselves to be aligned with who you, then release the scrutiny and judgement and learn to trust them. Once you decide that someone is on "your team", you have to have faith in them. Wikipedia defines faith "confidence or trust in a person, thing, deity, view, or in the doctrines or teachings of a religion". You can't do it all alone. We were not designed to be solely sufficient on our own capabilities. If that were true why are we all here. Others are here to provide opportunities that you could never independently provide and also confirm ideas/dreams to help guide your decisions. All things work together for the good of those... Have belief in what you can do, but also have faith in what others are here to do for you.
