​I look back at the course of my life, in particular all of my discrepancies and deep feelings of inadequacies. Almost always whenever those circumstances and emotions arose, I had a negative outlook on what there purpose in my life was.  At no point in the middle of a crisis did I ever seek to understand the meaning awaiting to be extracted.  I spiraled, I shook my finger at the faiths, I curse at the gods, I resorted to dysfunctional means to cope. I truly felt as if I embodied the definition of failure. That course of being led me to pivot to a new doctrine, I turn to an element that I often neglected, faith. Faith whether predicted on religious notions or completely isolated from religious themes is an extremely important factor. Faith is the ability to ease into all of life’s hardships with the belief that everything that can possibly happen is best thing that could have happened. Faith is the knowing that regardless of how catastrophic things might seem there is always an opportunity for growth, a lesson waiting to be extracted.  In conjunction with the stated idea, it is important to understand that a shift in perspective requires incremental steps that may take a lot of time, patience and intention like all other things in life. Repetition with intention is far more important than results.
