Faith is the essence of hope. Howsoever higher your aspirations may be, if we keep trust and embrace faith, our dreams turn into reality. Faith gives us tenacity. Nothing is possible in the absence of faith.
Faith is the driving force behind all the greatest endeavors pursued in the world. Faith helps a person achieve the desired goals that he has set for himself. Thus, every new discovery, new invention and success is possible because of the Faith held for carrying out the tough tasks.
“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
Faith does not only mean worship or belief in an idol. Faith can be had without any prayers or presence of a deity. Faith in one self, faith in one’s actions and beliefs, faith in the nation and its government, faith in the ruling party, faith in one’s strengths, and faith in your children are many such examples where faith is not associated with any prayers or hymns but it exists. Faith goes a long way in making a person’s life happier and full of achievements.
Faith cannot be taught or imbibed in a person. It comes from within and is determiner in your attitude towards life. Faith brings motivation and thus the strength and the enthusiasm in achievement of a goal are an important factor in deciding the success or failure of it. If Faith is lost, failure is imminent.
