A dear friend shared an amazing message with me the other day:
"Faith and Fear are Cousins - each moment you choose between either one"
In another creative conversation I was discussing the same concept of Faith over Fear with yet another incredible friend (I've got some phenomenal peeps!), she reminded me of Indie's incredible leap of faith in the movie "Search for the Holy Grail" - hence the attachment.
How brilliant would our days and moments be if we could always keep this top of mind? That in each moment, regardless of what shows up, we have the power to choose either Faith or Fear. Fear keeps us stuck; Faith moves us forward.
First you do the work to clarify what you really want in life, what you want to stand for (your deepest Values), what you want to achieve and do. You also do the work to regularly check in with this; I recommend once a week at the same time e.g. 6am on a Monday morning while the rest of the world is asleep, "Sleep less, live more" R. Sharma. Do the work, set it up right and then each day, each moment trust and let go, have faith that you are heading in the general, right direction towards your goals and dreams.
At each point you can choose Fear and stand still (Indie would have never reached his destination if he had chosen fear!) or you can take a step or leap in Faith. We all have it in us. Once we get clear, focused and get into action we all have the abilty to take those steps of Faith...might not hurt to get a cool Indie Hat for the really tough times!
Each day, each moment step or leap into Faith. Tell me how it goes.
