FRANKLY SPEAKING: THE LINK BETWEEN CONFIDENCE AND FAITH.

THE LINK BETWEEN CONFIDENCE AND FAITH

Your faith is your confidence.


I try to juxtapose both words but still reach a similar conclusion, I scrolled through the English dictionary and I came up with this:

FAITH

A feeling, conviction, or belief that something is true or real, not contingent upon reason or justification.

CONFIDENCE

Self-assurance.

Expression or feeling of certainty.

The quality of trusting.

Information held in secret.


In respect to both words, it either you apply it or you lose it. You need to have confidence in yourself to keep going in life, the day you lose it, you start to decline. People can help you build it or crush it, but it all depends on you.

When it seems like the going gets tough and you ain't getting it right, you need tap back into your confidence. The day or moment your confidence drop, on that same spot, you start depreciating. It can't work for you if you can't work it yourself.

I wouldn't want to dabble into religious faith. The faith I am pinpointing here is a faith that gives confidence, the faith is the source of the confidence, it is that thing you tap into when the confidence starts to waver. Never allow the challenges you are encountering get in touch with your faith, for the faith will propane you. What will happen when the faith get tampered with, the affected individual becomes vulnerable.

Confidence is the force, while faith is the source of the force. That is why, whenever you are experiencing a breakdown you get to deal with your faith and refill your gas of confidence.

When you are down in confidence, there is a way out, but when you are touched in confidence and faith, there is a serious job to be done. The disconnection between both words has brought down a lot of great persons from the zenith to nadir, and when this happens it seems it all gone for the affected persons. I see a situation where some visit the psychologist to help them fix them; it works for some and doesn't work for others. Where they get it wrong is this, "you can not heal the force, you first need to heal the source and the source will restore the force". No age barrier can deter a person who is willing and ready to get the wheel rolling again. When you fall, you need to get up. when you get down you need to get up, life has never been a bed of roses. There is one thing, rule your world, never allow your world to rule you.
