I have been noticing that my mood seems a little sad lately. When I look back at the types of posts I have written in the past month, I just don't feel like I have been happy. For as long as I can remember, I have been an axioms person. I think you all probably know this by now. However, I used to consider myself a happy person as well. It is for this reason that I cannot stop thinking about this change.
I have never been a big promoter of religion. Don't get me wrong, I very much believe. However, it is not my place to tell another person that they must also believe. No, I think religion is supposed to be a personal choice and if you don't believe in anything, that's okay with me.
With that being said, I know I will probably turn a few people off to reading this post. My point is not to encourage religion. My point is to encourage having faith in anything. You can choose to believe in yourself and your own abilities, or you can choose to believe that people are inherently good... Or, you can choose to believe that ice cream can fix any problem. As long as you have faith in something, I think that is part of where happiness comes from. It is this idea that we able to face whatever happens in life. Knowing that the world (or our problems) are not too big to be tackled, this is what I mean by "having faith."
For me, it helps to think that there is a larger reason to the struggling, that some grander plan is falling into place. Yet, I know that not everyone feels this way, and that's okay with me. Even still, I like to think that I am not facing the world alone. I like to look up and feel as if someone is there helping me along the way. Yes, having a little faith is what helps me.
What helps you to get through the day? Where do you put your faith?
