Stop having faith in Something

In my last post I mentioned faith. I think I've mentioned having faith many times on this blog. But what I've come to realize is that I need to stop having faith in Something and instead have faith in Myself. This applies to having faith in yoga too. Yoga alone isn't going to fix me and make me the 'perfect' person...or the person I aspire to become. My choices to improve myself will help me to make this experience of Life better and yoga is part of that, even a facilitator to it but ultimately, the change will sprout from me.

It's only natural in uncertain times or during feelings of insecurity to ask for support or help. In a crisis when I was younger, I remember my mum praying to God for help. As an adult myself now, I'm likely to do the same in some form. And whenever I make Big decisions (life changing decisions) I want to seek out approval and for everyone to support me in my quest.

I should know by now that your expectations of people can not always live up to the ones you may have built in your imagination. Sometimes, the very people you think would want the best for you, actually seem to make things more difficult.
That's exactly when you have to believe in yourself.

Have faith in more than Something.
Have faith in you.


That is the test.
