I was thinking the other day about Faith. What it means. Why some people seem to have more than others. When I discovered my own and started building on it. And so forth.

I was thinking about this on the back of a call with a client of mine for whom having faith is a brand new concept. For her entire life, she has relied on her intellect to sort things out. If she had a problem, she very naturally attempted to ‘think‘ her way out of it. She searched her mind for a solution. No doubt you can relate to that? I certainly can. I remember when it was habit for me to try to think my way out of situations, only to end up feeling more confused, more overwhelmed and more lost. The more I looked to my intellect for the answers, the further I seemed to be from a solution.

I remember the day I realised that ‘thinking‘ up solutions was not working for me and I was absolutely beside myself. As a result of all the thinking, my head was such a muddle and I was emotionally all over the place. In that moment I surrendered. I threw my hands in the air and said out loud, “I don’t have the answers. Help me!”. I didn’t know who or what I was talking to, but it was along the lines of God. Except at the time, I wasn’t sure God existed because up until then, ‘he‘ was a wise, apparently loving but sometimes seemingly mean man that sat on a cloud and passed out judgement/help/forgiveness as he deemed deserving. And, I didn’t want to believe in a man like that. But, putting those beliefs to one side, in that moment I simply trusted that there was something larger than me and I knew that the way I was approaching my life was simply not working. So, I got out of my own way, threw my hands up and gave in. Better than that, I gave over. I handed over my problems to something else. Something that I sensed. And in that moment I experienced Faith for the first time. It was small but it was there. It was there because I showed willingness. And quite frankly, it was a last resort!

So, when my client said, “How do I develop Faith?”, I remembered that experience. I told her that it was willingness that set the wheels in motion for me. That willingness was fueled by a very deep, very intense emotion. It was time to change and I was willing to do anything to make it happen. If that meant believing in a power greater than me, then I was going to give it a try, because I had nothing to lose! And, as it happened, the Universe responded and slowly slowly, day by day, I was guided and shown ways to make change happen. I met coaches that could help me, discovered books that guided me, meditations that soothed my soul and so forth. A big part of that change was indeed developing my Faith and learning to hand my problems over to an awesome, loving power. I have built up so much evidence to prove that I was supported and being guided by that power that my Faith has become integral to my life. I can’t imagine living without it. I can’t imagine expecting to have all the answers in my head. It seems crazy to me now!
