What is faith?

Faith is a belief, trust, or confidence, not based on logic, reason, or empirical data, but based fundamentally on volition often associated with a transpersonal relationship with God, a higher power, a person, elements of nature, and/or a perception of the human race as a whole. Faith can be placed in a person, inanimate object, state of affairs, proposition or body of propositions such as a religious creed.

Faith comes in all forms. Faith in God, faith in a person, faith in numbers, faith in so many different forms, that each and everyone of us has something to believe in and to have faith in.

What is it that I have faith in? Do I have faith in God? If so, what God is that? Faith in a Hindu God, faith in Jesus, faith in what? As I have grown up and lived in such a rich cultural country, I have learned to take a bit out of every culture. I have faith that I can be an open minded person when it comes to God. Whether that is my God, or some one elses God.

I have been asked by different people at all stages of my life, whether it was a good time in my life or a bad time, what I have faith in. At each time I did not have an answer for them as I didn't know what I had faith in.

Today, I feel like I do have faith in something. Faith that I am in charge of my life. Where it will go and how I shall do. Faith in where I want my life to go and with whom I wish to spend it with. Who I wish to have in my life as family and with friends. What I'm willing to do to get to where I want to be.

I also have faith that this is my year. Things are going to work for me this time. I'm in charge and I will do great. I have taken the negitive people out of my life and have installed the positive people into it. I will have control over what is going on and what I am going to do. Not you or any one else. My life is what I will make it. My life is what I want it to be. This is what I have faith in.
