"Never Give Up. Never lose hope. Always have faith, It allows you to cope ... Just have patience, your dreams will come true." - Charlie Remiggio.
These words remind me to have belief and patience, in whatever is ahead. That I often do not know what will happen next, nor do I know what will be asked of me in the next part of my journey. Sometimes it seems easier to give up, rather than keep on going. When the things I hope for do not seem to be happening, I am often left with what I believe, or as it is said, with what I put my faith in. Faith, for me, is a state of mind where we trust or believe something that is not necessarily possible to be certain about. It is the belief of those things which we do not see.
My Angels encourage me to see Faith as close to hope, our hopes can lead to faith, and our faith can lead to new hopes. Determining what is true and what is not as I look around can be sometimes be confusing. So I ask myself a few questions. How does it feel? What am I seeing and what am I not seeing? What am I hearing and what am I not hearing? I always try to remember that what I experience and remember is through my individual understanding based on my history, the things I observe and interpret. For you, your understanding and memories will be based on your experiences.
I am learning to be patient with myself and others. Patience is also a form of action; allowing time for my mind to interpret what is before me, along with my heart, to determine some truths. Then I have an opportunity to take on board the things I need to know and do, and let go of the things which are no longer a benefit for me. Or as the rest of the beginning quote says: "Trying times will pass, as they always do. Just have patience, your dreams will come true. Out on a smile, you'll live through your pain. Know it will pass and strength you will gain." So have a great week my friends, a week filled with belief and patience, faith and hope. Arohanui.
