Faith

Something that is always on my mind, and I am always thinking about. One of my friends told me once that I should always have faith. Faith who knew that that short, five-letter-word, could mean so much and have such a powerful meaning.

The day I was ever told to have faith, was one day when I was upset, and was talking to a friend on the phone. At the verge of tears, and me barely able to speak, she said “Have faith, it will always work if you truly believe”. I was puzzled because I didn’t really understand what she was saying and I asked her about it; she said that it meant that if you believe that something will happen, it will, but that doesn’t mean that u stop trying. That you just have to believe in yourself, no other force in the universe will ever stop you.

Shocked as I was at the profundity of my friend’s words, I nodded as if she was actually there with me, instead of just being a voice coming out of a phone. I agreed. I never actually believed her though.

That was, until a month or so. I decided to try, slowly but steadily, it works and you feel it and see how it works. Yesterday a friend of mine told me that he was completely crushed and if it was up to him, he would rather stay locked up in his room for the rest of his days. Now, I am the one telling him that he needs to have faith and that he needs to believe that it will be all right.
