JUST TAKE THE FIRST STEP
Doubt sees the obstacles.
Faith sees the way.
Doubt sees the darkest night.
Faith sees the day.
Doubt dreads to take a step.
Faith soars high.
Doubt questions "Who believes?"
Faith answers "I"
Do you doubt more than you believe? As the great Buddha stated "There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills."
Doubt doesn't do anything but hide behind the obstacles that are in its way, while faith allows for a person to overcome them. Doubt only allows for a mind to see how dark it is at night, while faith allows for a mind to see that preparation is imperative for the new light in the day that is coming ahead. A person who doubts is never willing to start, while a person of faith steps out against every challenge in an effort to fly. Doubt tries to destruct the human psyche, while those who are faithful remain strengthened even in times of great destruction and difficulty. Which do you choose?
People without faith in themselves are like a candle without a flame, though it may have a physical presence, it is not really living up to its full potential because it is not providing any light to the world. Having faith in one's own self is a quality that breeds more qualities.
“Take the first step in faith.
You don't have to see the whole staircase,
Just take the first step.”
