highly sensitive power

Where did you finally find the thing you’d lost – the car keys, the photo, the phone number? It was in the last place you looked, right? Faith fulfilled works the same way. If you stop looking before you get to that last place, you won’t find what you yearn for.

What you seek waits patiently under that last unturned rock.

When what you seek has eluded you long enough to make you question the search itself, long enough to have you peering suspiciously at your worthiness, you need the persistence of faith.

Look deep inside. Is the flame of your quest still lit, somewhere in there? When you grow still and quiet, peering at the flame and ignoring all else, does its heat warm you? If so, you must keep the faith, no matter what false hopes the journey puts in your path.

Burn through the false hopes with the flame of your certainty.

You may rage against this suggestion, but it’s likely that each false hope you burn through readies you for the final find, cauterizing the parts of you that need protection, welding the parts that need connection, crafting you for success.

Faith gives you the strength to forge your dreams.
