Blind Faith

I heard Marianne Williamson speak last year. It made me see Christmas in a whole new light. She related the birth of Christ metaphysically. The birth of Christ can be experienced in your heart by reaching a state of enlightenment. Jesus was in a constant state of enlightenment. The word "enlightenment" is defined as "a state of transcendent divine experience" or "a blessed state marked by the absence of desire or suffering". Jesus spent his life spreading the word of his experience and teaching others how to reach this state. 

I turned away from all religion many years ago. I was a skeptic & had many doubts. Recently, I have been learning how to put my ego aside and be humble & open, see things with new eyes. I think it is very honorable to have blind faith. It takes a tremendous amount of trust & humbleness to have faith in the unseen. I think it also takes a lot of courage to put fear & doubt aside and believe in something that cannot be scientifically proven. I also see that having FAITH is a very important aspect when creating goals & finding success. You create a goal, something you have never achieved before. A goal is usually achieved by doing something you have never done before. You have to trust that the actions you take will result in the goal that you have imagined for yourself being reached without having concrete evidence or certainty that it will happen. 

Over the past year, I have heard many very successful people speak & I do find that a lot of times there is a common thread. Many of them attribute their success to God. They all have a tremendous amount of blind faith & in having that, they are able take huge risks and step out in faith, without which, they would never gotten to where they were today or reached level of success they have attained. They trust that what they do will get them where they need to go or at least closer to that. If they had to much doubt and skepticism they would probably not believe it would happen & would not attempt to reach their goals at all. I encourage you to practice a little blind faith and take a step towards your dreams and trust that the path will show up as you walk towards your great future. 

Peace Love & Strength. Merry Christmas.
