Having faith like mine

Having faith like mine

So recently, quite a few people have been saying this to me. That they wish they had faith like mine. Faith so strong that no matter what life throws at them that they can still look for the positive even though the storms. 

I can only say that this is who I am. I've been through a lot of shit in my life, and yes, it sucked but this is life. We all go through good times and bad times, but it's how we look at it that defines who we are. I could be miserable, I could blame God or the universe for all my issues. I could be negative and hold on to anger and be hateful toward those who did me wrong. 

But I chose to be grateful, I choose to be positive and look for the silver lining in the storms. I choose to forgive and let go of the anger because it's for me, not them. This is a choice, and I chose to hold on to my faith even if it's only a mustard seed size at times. 

I am human, and I do question God on why all this has happened to me, but I also know that my job is to keep having faith, to know that this too shall pass. To know that he has done it before and will do it again for me. This faith has pulled me through, and it has taught me the lessons I need to learn. Even when I don't want to, I know I must hold on. 

So today, my friends, the answer is an easy one for me. My faith keeps me going. It allows me to hang on even if I have to tie a rope in the end of that bitch to do so. My faith teaches me to believe that the sun will shine again and it will get better no matter how bad the storms are. It's all the way you look at things, it's all a choice you make. I chose to be the change I want to see.
