Is there a difference between faith and belief?

In order to have faith, you must believe. Conversely, does that mean that if you believe, you have faith? Belief is a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing. Faith is complete trust or confidence in someone or something. I believe faith is more absolute than belief, but it is a shade of gray, either way.

If you are venturing into the unknown, and you are destined for territories that are uncharted, do you have what it takes to sustain your thought process and your belief system, in order to propel you to the destination of your choosing?

We are often times enshrouded in all sorts of variables. As we continue to navigate our path into the destiny of our choosing, we are continually confronted with obstacles, for which we may not have any direct solution.

How then, are we expected to circumnavigate the impedance?

A giant portion of that answer stems from the internal guidance system of the individual.

If you are of the mindset that it does not matter what obstacle you are going to encounter, you will either dissolve it, go over it, navigate around it, or pursue an alternate opportunity to get to your ultimate conclusion, then obstacles are just par for the course.

Whereas, if you are far more concerned about details and the issues arising as a result of those details, you might be heading straight into your Waterloo when you come to one of the biggest potential roadblocks that threatens to impede your progress.

At the end of the day, taking a fearless approach that is steeped in self-confidence and fully realized as a methodology through which we might navigate our paths in life, we soon discover that it does not matter the size, shape, or essence of the obstacle, it only depends on how adept we are at understanding the confining parameters of the obstacle, and thereby diminishing them through our internal resources.

Our ability to prevail with consistency, heavily relies on our ability to understand this very specific lesson, and to embrace the methodologies necessary to leverage this lesson through every moment of discord in our lives.

Be fearless, your solution is right around the corner!

Happy Friday!

When I was 5 years old, I discovered that the lemon tree in the backyard + dixie cups + water and sugar and I was in business. I have been hooked on that ever since. In 1979, I borrowed $14,000 to create a brand new product... photographic greeting cards with no text on the inside, called Paradise Photography. That was the start of The Illusion Factory. Since then, The Illusion Factory has been entrusted by all of the major studios and broadcasters with the advertising and marketing of over $7 billion in filmed, live, broadcast, gaming, AR, VR and regulated gaming forms of entertainment, generating more than $100 Billion in revenue and 265 awards for creativity and technology for our clients. When I took a break from film school at UCLA to move to Hawaii, my mother did not lecture me. Instead, she took 150 of her favorite aphorisms and in her beautiful calligraphy, wrote them artistically throughout a blank journal. That is the origin of the Lessons from the Mountain series. Since then, on my journeys to the top of a mountain to watch the sunrise, I have spent countless hours contemplating words of wisdom from the sages of all races, genders and political persuasions, constantly accumulating the thoughts to guide me on my life path. I hope you enjoy my books. Please let me know your thoughts, as I highly value your feedback!
