Belief > Everything.
I believe the Universe has my best interest at heart.
I believe the Universe has given me the strength and capabilities to succeed in all things.
I believe that I can overcome any obstacle.
I believe that my strengths outshine my weaknesses daily.
I believe in me.
I believe in the Creator.
Do you though?
Do you believe in these affirmations?
I can honestly say that I struggle with a few of these, depending on the day. The only thing that helps my faith get stronger is to self reflect on the past. When I look at all of the things I accomplished, overcame, or have been blessed with, I remember how far I have came. Amazing things happen to us all the time. We just forget and allow our current problems to overshadow all the things we could be grateful for. When we list our past wins in our head, it is hard to not have faith that you can win in this moment too. For example, I have really hard days that hit me out of nowhere sometimes. Depression will do that to you. But then I remember all the times in the past where I kicked depression’s ass. I remember all the times I did not know how I would pay this or that. How I would achieve this or that. How I would make it through this or that. But I always did. The Universe has always protected me and provided for me. My belief in that provision and those blessings, keeps them raining on me. It is like a domino effect. The Universe gives me a gift — then a stressful situation arises — I trust that I will get through this — I get through it — another stressful situation arises — I have faith because I just got through the last one — I get through this one — my faith grows bigger and bigger — I receive another gift. It is a continuous cycle of trusting that if you got through it then, then you can get through it now. And that faith keeps bringing more blessings your way.
Remembering my escape from those storms in the past, allows me to have faith I will escape whatever storm that will hit NOW.
If you’re thinking, well, I do not know of many storms I have escaped because I feel like I have been in a storm my whole life. That is why we are not the only person on this planet. Other souls surround us so we can be inspired by their stories and their lives, and by that inspiration we can build our faith in the Universe and our faith within ourselves. If it seems like you lost everything, and you are losing faith, and losing hope, there is someone else out there that is going through the same thing as you. Their life can build your faith. Their small and big wins can build your faith. Even their faithful response before the win, can build your faith. Open up to someone about your doubts right now. Or just research on the internet exactly what you are going through and thousands of people are opening up about the same things. You never know how powerful someone else’s journey can strengthen you and encourage you not to give up.
We are not alone. My faith should increase your faith. And then you can pass the torch to increase someone else’s.
Our burdens can be a thick black blanket of doubt that covers our faith sometimes. We like to complain rather than try to pray and manifest. We rather be negative than trust the process. We rather try to avoid the hurdles than believe that the obstacle and discomfort is for our growth. No one likes to be blind-sighted. No one likes to be stressed. I know I don’t. But when I focus on all the icky shit in my life, then of course my faith decreases. But what if I focused on all the beautiful shit that’s to come? What if I already started to thank the Universe for giving me what is not even in my possession yet? Now that is true faith.
Doubt is normal. But faith is necessary.
To have self doubt is to constantly be in fear of what you cannot do or what cannot happen. To have self belief is to have hope in all the things that you can do and knowing you will learn how to do things that you cannot do in this moment. To manifest what you want in life, is just to believe with your whole heart that it is already done. You are speaking it before it happens. If you need something right now. Write down that you already receiving it. Read it daily. Believe in it daily. Watch it manifest. And once it does, because it will, if you truly believe, then that should be the first stepping stone of you building your faith. Your faith that the Universe hears you will grow. Your faith in your powerful words will grow. And your faith in the ability to manifest will grow. A lot of people pray and wait for God to answer their prayers. But then doubt if they will get what they just prayed for. So what is the point? Nothing you should be praying for or trying to manifest should bring harm to others. If it will build you and the people around you, then the Universe will always provide.
