faith. We all understand the concept but internalizing it 100% is a long process.
evidence. When there is no evidence that logically supports having faith, how do i continue to do it anyways? How do i prove to others and more importantly to myself, that i am indeed capable of greatness?
symbolic interactionism is a bitch. Is the self doubt a result of what society thinks about me or because of my interpretation of what society thinks of me? Labels are powerful but the biggest kryptonite to faith are the labels we buy into and apply to ourselves.
mirrors. When i look into one what do i see? What labels do i hate but apply anyways? Am i mean or am i looking for evidence to change my mind? When do i stop criticizing and say so what, i’m going to have faith anyways. Is it when another person is able to convince me or can i just decide solo?
irony. The sad and funny thing is, those moments that have stuck with us, convinced us that in some way we are less than, are often forgotten by those who made us feel that way. hmm. so why do we hold on to it? I guess the answer is clear – somehow, somewhere, we decided to give the power to determine our self worth, to someone from the past, who is no longer relevant. logically then, their words are probably irrelevant as well.
Einstein. Every one told him he would never amount to anything. Everyone was wrong. He amounted to a whole lot.
Remember the crazy guy who thought the world was round? Turns out he was right. lol. embrace your crazy and stop looking for ‘evidence’ to justify having faith in yourself.
