A collection of inspirational wisdom, sayings and quotes on the subject of faith and trusting our intuition. The word 'faith' often brings up a religious conotation in our minds, yet faith is more than just blindly believing "God's word" because we are "told" to believe.
Faith is an inner "Knowing" of things unseen or perceived by the five physical senses, and it is our intuition (our inner guidance system) that speaks to us quietly and to which we need to listen to more intently. Never mind what other people say or tell you to believe. Listen to your inner knowing and let that be your guidance tell you what is right for you.
The way to manifest things into your life is to "know" them into existence. Doubt will cancel this out. When God created the world, he did not say "Let There be light - hmmmmm, I wonder if this will work". He simply said "Let There Be Light!" with the utmost Know-ing that light will be.

Here is a test to find out
whether your mission in life is complete...
If you're alive, it isn't.
Seek always for the answers within.
Be not influenced by those around you -
by their thoughts or their words.
Within you
Lies the simple silence.
Be quiet and listen...
Sometimes, simply by sitting,
the soul collects wisdom.
Doubt is a pain
too lonely to know
that faith is his twin brother.
Faith is a bird that feels dawn breaking
and sings while it is still dark.
Therefore I tell you,
whatever you ask for in prayer,
believe that you have received it,
and it will be yours.
You are never asked to do
more than you are able
without being given the Strength and Ability
to do it.
Before enlightenment ...
chopping wood, carrying water.
After enlightenment ...
chopping wood, carrying water.
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.
if I keep on saying to myself
that I cannot do a certain thing,
it is possible that I may end
by really becoming incapable of doing it.
On the contrary,
if I have the belief that I can do it,
I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it,
even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Faith...
When you come to the edge of all the light you have,
and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing one of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.
