Having faith

  • Such an odd choice of words don't you think?  Faith can mean a number of things, faith in yourself, others, a higher power its all faith, and whether we choose to look away from it and say that we don't need it in our life, the fact of the matter is that no one has the answer to everything and at one point you are going to have to put that trust in something.


    Lately I find myself wavering on the faith that I have in myself, a friend once told me that I know more than I think I do, I have not always chose the humble path and found at one time that I could be quite boastful when I thought that I was right. These days I sit back and watch, keep my mouth shut for the most part because as I have gotten older, I have been humbled and I know no matter how much I think I know, there are a million things that I don't. I am not recognized by anyone as having a great mind or a well rounded knowledge these are all things that I have to recognize in myself. When I started the book project I thought that I would have more than enough knowledge to fill a hundred pages and now with every passing day I look on it and despair. I find myself fumbling to find the right words or frustrated that the information I had so ingrained in my head is lost somewhere in the back of my mind hiding.


    So today I have to say that in my searches and in my own right, I have the right to be wrong, and I have the right to the answers that I seek, but in order to have either one I have to have enough faith in myself to know that if I fall I can get back up, if I look I will find, and I don't need recognition from others if I recognize myself.
