How To Build Faith in Yourself

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."

Martin Luther King Jr.  

 

Faith - a strong or unshakeable belief in something, especially without proof or evidence  (World English Dictionary)

 

It's so much easier to think about doing something if you know it will be successful. But is that really faith?

To me, faith is knowing you don't know how to do something then going out and trying anyway.

Though I did event decor for friends and colleagues for 10 years, I never arranged a fresh flower in my life until we started Fly Me To The Moon Florists.

I truly am a self-taught floral designer. I read every book I could find and jumped right in.

You get to decide where you are on the risk monitor. But I think you know in your heart when you've got a skill or a talent. You don't have to start big. Just take the first step.

You don't have to be crazy like me. Take a course on the subject. Read all about it. Then when you're ready, go ahead and take that first step. You never know where it might take you.

"Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see."      NIV

 

Have you ever decided to step out on faith and do something? Tell me about it.

Hello,
I visited your blog today - I saw you on 'Ivy and Elephants.' Your blog is so pretty. While I was scrolling down, I noticed the wedding dress with the red roses. My daugher is getting married next Fall and wants to wear just that. Me and my daughters started a blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would enjoy coming back to visit with you. Your blog is simple and sweet, two things which I love. I hope to hear from you, and have a lovely evening. Oh, I just did a Faith post today too.
