When nothing is certain, anything is possible !!

Faith is difficult.

I'm not going to make this a religious post, so I think "trust" is a more widely accepted and understood term.

Faith: trust. 

More specifically, trust in the future. 

Life is just so damn unpredictable and uncertain you know!?

... which makes it exciting, but also equally terrifying at times.

If you know me at all, you know I have my positive pants on MOST of the time, I try my best to at least… but here and there, negativity comes out in FULL force thanks to a shitty mindset // triggered by friends drama, hormones, failure… *recently hit with all 3, the perfect storm to type out this post at 1AM* .

Sometimes you envision life in a certain way and picture a path for yourself…you plan it all out, it makes you really happy... and then you come to the realization that it may not end up that way. This can be with a lot of things: work, relationships, personal growth... anything really . This leaves you knocked on your ass, scratching your head, thinking “well that plan is out of the window, WTF do I do now??”

When the future you pictured is no longer crystal clear, what-if's come flooding in. 

What IF I don’t get that job?

What IF I don’t find my “soulmate”?

What IF I don’t reach that goal?

What IF I made the wrong choice?

What IF this never happens?

What IF I don’t figure out my life soon?

What IF I'm all alone ?

What IF I don't get the expected marks ?

What IF....
What IF....
What IF....

Everyone’s 'What-if’s' are different… but I think we can all agree, they're a nightmare.

What-ifs of the future are terrifying because it’s so difficult these days to just trust in life.

Believing in things we can’t actually see gets more and more difficult with age. 

Teaching kids to believe in Santa, for example, may seem silly to some-- but it's instilling in them the ability to believe in something that isn't right in front of them… it’s teaching them to have faith , to have positivity.

Having faith goes way beyond religion, it's a crucial trait for life . More specifically, believing in yourself & in what the future holds. Just because you can't see it right now, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Think about it. How much has happened to you this past year? How much of it did you actually see coming?

For me, most of it was out of the blue… most of it turned out to be amazing. I thought of many things and almost all of them never came true . But the things that came out of the blue turned out to be more amazing . 

This is why I have faith in my future...

You could be one phone call away from a new job offer.

One hello away from a stranger that could be "the one".

One email away from an amazing opportunity.

One vacation away that could change your life.

Anything and everything is possible.

You probably wont see any of it coming... and that's the beauty of life. You may think that this is my goal or that is the thing that I want but if that doesn't work , doesn't mean that the things you will have in future are not bright enough as the previous one . This is the uncertainty of life . Certain things are not meant to be the way they are . And that doesn't mean the things we don't achieve or have were the last chances or steps that we can take . Life is too short to complain .

  "Even when  you think  you’ve got it all figured out, everything can change in, like, a second. The secret is to learn to feel liberated and not petrified by that. ”

The fact is: you could die tomorrow or live until 110. You could come into some serious money. You could contract a serious illness. You could meet the love of your life, unexpectedly, and run off to Japan. You could have a spiritual awakening and become a monk. Ok, unlikely, but possible. Anything is possible.

None of us have the answers even when we think we do. In fact, thinking you have the answers is dangerous.

We can all plan and plan and plan, but the fact is “life happens while you’re busy making other plans”. Call it the universe, call it your god, call it whatever you so wish… what’s meant for you won’t pass you. I promise.

New year is around the corner and I can't think of a more perfect starting than a New Year . Although you shouldn't even wait for the new year or christmas to start a new beginning . 

Want to ensure an amazing year ahead?

Every. single. day... keep striving to be the best version of yourself. Switch up your days/weeks with exciting plans. Live intensely in the moment. Take trips. Take risks. Keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Don’t take anything too seriously, including your feelings… sadness comes and goes, happiness comes and goes. Even people come and go . Keep growing into the person you want to become.

Embrace the waves of life, welcome change, be patient, and don’t ever emotionally resist what you can’t control. TRUST in what the future holds: the good, the bad, the weird… it’s all coming.

When you view the unknown of the future in a more positive light, it's actually a really exciting feeling. 

Something amazing is right around the corner, have faith in that.

just... trust.

Happy Christmas and a very happy and prosperous new year to everyone ..well meet again in next year..ciao
