Sometimes you start off doing things for other people. They might have their reasons for pushing you into it. Maybe they see something in you that you don’t see yourself. Or maybe you do see it, but don’t think its enough to get you were they want you to be. But you listen anyway, because you really don’t have a choice since you’re being pushed into it.
What happens when that listening leads to a beginning of hope? Because if you fail, do you turn around and say “you pushed me into it”. Or do you accept that somewhere along the way, you began to believe in the whole idea yourself. That somewhere along the way, you quietly realized that you weren’t being pushed into anything anymore, that you actually willingly began to hope?
I believe in roadsigns along the way. On the other hand, I also believe that I know what I am capable of. But what if I’m allowing hope to cloud up what I really know about myself ?
There are people who think with their hearts, and there are people who think with their minds. I have always believed that I belonged to the former, but now that I think about it, there have been several occasions where I’ve gone against what my heart told me to do.
So do I let what I believe about myself make my decision or do I let myself hope ..
Yes completely random, I know. But I just had to get it out of my system!
there’s nothing wrong with Faith. Ask yourself one thing, though: did you do it for yourself, or to please others?
Hope and trust do not die down with failure. Sure, you hoped and lost. But what did losing have anything to do with it? Sometimes it’s not the destination, but the journey that gets you there.
hmm intersting, i reckon “faith” is the key here, coz i gather that goes beyond belief and mere knowledge. So when u have faith (not belieif) in yourself u are pretty darn confidant that with hopes and dreams floating around u will be grounded to be truely who you are and do watever that u need to do in living that dream. Well that too, pushed into it or otherwise!!
Like all other things it could be overwhelming and much likely things overgrow u as you go along. But hey, if u have faith in your heart to know that u can all but put in effort , The mind should work out the practical issues. And when u have choices to make, its best to think with your mind and back it up with faith. Coz wishful thinking is more often than not a by product of thinking with your heart.
