Faith
Faith is a complete change in thoughts to accept a desired result. Remember, our thoughts direct our experience. If we have faith in an outcome, our thoughts are perfectly aligned to experience that outcome. We are not hoping for the outcome to occur. Hope indicates doubt and not 100% certainty. Faith is 100% certainty. That means, there are no contrary thoughts or negative self talk hindering the process. When our mind is 100% on board to realize a desired result, the result will manifest.
This is why effective spiritual practice is so helpful in developing one’s faith. Effective spiritual practices frees us from self defeating tendencies in thought and action, and in time provides control of the mind. Control of the mind is not forceful as in restraining a wild animal, but more like having control of your car. A person in control of their car is not straining, they just understand how to drive well and so can do it effortlessly. A person who knows how to operate their minds and direct their thoughts, who is free from contrary tendencies, can accomplish and experience anything they want in life, provided they also take action doing what they know needs done to experience what they want.
Self-fulfilling prophecies are the result of faith. What ever we put our faith in, that occurs. In fact, everything that happens is a result of a self-fulfilling prophecy and faith. Ideas an expectactions that run through the mind, are typically what is experienced in life.
If you would like to know your future, take a moment or two to examine the thoughts and emotions that are constantly running in your head. What are you thinking about? What are you desiring? What are you afraid of happening? What are you greatly looking forward to? Be sure, these are the things that are in your future.
