Summary

Faith is a true currency and an object of energy. Our faith is the aggregate of what we think, say, do, believe, and our subconscious mind. Faith is composed of our characteristics, our obsessions, our addictions, and the energy we put out. The problem I often see is that many are so unconscious about where they invest their faith, constantly create resistance by putting faith in the wrong things. We tend to think about what we don’t want, or even worse put faith in what other people want for us, and then when we get it, we end up resenting them instead. Faith Works in Two Ways: 1. Putting faith in what you want 2. Putting faith in what you don’t want The most common way that faith works is that we place our faith in what we want to manifest in our lives. Just like a credit card, the higher the limit of your faith, the more you can manifest and make into reality. Of course, simply having faith is never enough to get what you want. You need to take the right actions, with the right energy and the right mindset. The less-understood way that faith works comes when we put our faith into what others want for us or things we don’t want for ourselves. What happens when we put our faith in what others want for us is that often if we achieve it, we feel some sort of resentment. There is a massive difference between accomplishing a goal you set for yourself and a goal that others have set for you (or convinced you to set for yourself). Often times, we are limiting ourselves by putting faith in what others want for us. We are also limiting ourselves by putting faith in things that we don’t want in our life. My favorite example for this idea comes from law school. Whenever there was a topic that I didn’t want to be on the test, more often that not it was. What you resist persists, so avoid placing your faith in the negative, as this will only lead to you manifesting more negativity. Faith works both ways. If you place your faith in the idea that there is more than enough for everyone, you’re going manifest that abundance. When you put faith in what you don’t want, that is exactly what you will end up with.
