Keep the Faith

Another pearl from the past posts.


Keep the faith.

The unshakable faith in yourself.   Sincere belief really starts with you.

Have you ever heard one person berate another person in that hard, unforgiving way that makes your stomach turn?   There is never a real good reason to talk that way to anyone.  When it reaches that level, it is time to just walk away.

Being driven and having high expectations is a good thing.  There are times when you are going to fall short of a desired or expected result for yourself.   When you fall (and you will), how you talk to yourself is so very important.  It is far to easy to berate yourself in that hard, unforgiving way that is so  damaging.    There is never a real good reason to talk to yourself that way.  And there are times that you simply have to walk away because it has reached that level.   

That golden rule thing about treating others like you want to be treated is right on the money.  People forget that the golden rule applies to them first and foremost.

Forgive and you will be forgiven,
Trust and you will be trusted,
Believe and people will believe you.

So if you are running the race with someone and you fall and they pass you, that is not the end of the race unless you do not get back up again.  The pain of the bruised ego and body eases a great deal when you are back in the race.

Keep the faith, that unshakable, sincere belief in yourself.
