How Do You Keep the Faith While Waiting?
This week's question from “Ask Us Anything” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.
How do you keep a belief when it seems like nothing is happening?
For example, Iβve been trying to find opportunities to expand my social media network. Itβs been quiet for four days. My intuition told me, βspeak only what deserves to be spokenβ. Then on that day, after being silent, with nothing going onβout of nowhere, I got a free VIP ticket to a social media marketing event.
During that in-between period of waiting, I was anxious and wondering if it was working. How do you keep that belief anyway?
Consider the Law of Gender, which is one of the seven universal laws. This law states that thereβs a gestation period for everything.
For most physical things, we understand what the gestation period is, because itβs scientific. For example, we know that a baby takes nine months to develop after conception.
But with ideas, we donβt really know
how long something will take.
What we do know isβ¦
Any image you consistently hold on the screen of your mind MUST manifest into physical form in your lifeβ¦period. Thereβs no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Itβs an absolute.
This requires you to believe something beyond the idea of chance, luck, or, βThis canβt happen for me.β You must hold a higher belief for yourself.
Also, you have to βconditionβ your desire. Donβt take your desire for granted. It doesnβt just automatically stay there. It can go up and down. It can experience trauma, in a way.
Things can go haywire in our life, and we can forget about our desire. Or we might make a mistake and have to focus on fixing it instead of our desire.
We have to take care of our desire, as if it were a small child.
It needs a lot of attention. It needs to be fueled, acknowledged. You need to make sure it stays up in front of you every day.
You can verbalize or write down the βwhyβ behind what youβre doing, and what you truly wantβso that youβre consistently reminding yourself:
βThis is why Iβm going after the thing that I want. This is why Iβm working, making sacrifices, changing, learning, growing.β
You have to keep it up in front of you.
Keep it focused on the screen of your mind.
Then from there, itβs just about discipline, which in its Latin root, means βthe disciple of.β Discipline comes from the root of the word, βstudent.β Understand that everything is about learning and growing.
