Faith

To understand does not guarantee much but an assumption that one knows, only to be confirmed by mere facts, tangible experiences that bolster the idea that ambiguities are answered and more clarified. However, what relevance does it possess if in and in itself there is no purpose. Often do we find exclusively in ourselves that we hunger for answers, only to forget that sometimes the answer is to merely have faith. The problem with this is that we as a society have adapted to the point of independence, to trust no one but yourself, and with this, we often lack the confidence to entrust our fate in something that many find hidden beyond that of imagination, as if this all knowing concept of faith is nothing but another word said, another word taken for granted.

Walking down such stark and bright hallways, walls sterile, an air of responsibility brushes against the very hands that hold the lives of many. As if time knew not laws for it listens to nothing but the very fine clicks of its hands, blurred and vague, oblivious of each waking hour. I walk through not knowing what lay before me, burden to some, responsibility to others, yet destiny to god. I find myself in awe, to come to a realization that my purpose is not so much extrinsically driven, but more so it is an innate discovery, that one cannot find within any textbook nor influence by our superiors. My name, my hands, my life, are all ingrained within a stone map, a plan you may say, carved only by fate as dependent on God himself. I once thought that thoroughly understanding will pave my way when I lack in vision, only to find myself blindly traversing through a tunnel in which I see no fortune or outcome. However success does not gauge our purpose, faith is the very fuel that ignites my will, a passion not merely acquired, but is grown within ourselves. So believe in your endeavors, for the future is only but the present yet to come. Remember, God has something planned for you, just have a little faith won’t you?
