Faith and perseverance

        Having faith above all, because faith is a way to go far. Faith is a feeling that makes us believe that everything will be alright, even if life puts us in situations that we hadn’t imagined. I don’t know why we have faith, this feeling that helps us when we are in difficult or critical situations. In a way, we can compare this belief to the feeling of people in stadiums who believe in their team’s victory despite adverse conditions.
        The word “impossible” doesn’t belong to those who believe in the spectacular and glorious destiny of winners. The universe may sometimes work against us, but faith belongs to a special group of people who trust the solution to problems will be positive for them.
          We can identify moments in life that seem to be heading for disaster, where it’s impossible to control events. Faith – the last hope for a safe place – lies in the hands of believers.
         Having faith is not a sin. We have this feeling within us to change our story. Attitudes are important to organizing the future if we think clearly about it. Cats, for example, prepare their bodies before their jumps even though they aren’t sure they will succeed. Some people organize themselves and take risks because they imagine the finish line ribbon is there, in the impossible.
       Perseverance, by the way, is not necessarily connected to faith, but it does contain a little belief. If we always insist on the same point or follow the wrong paths, we will encounter disasters repeatedly. But if there is a possibility of success, the believer will try many times, in one way or another.
       Persistent people fight until the last moment of a game, and they don’t care about the opinion of the universe regarding their dreams. Destiny is not a fixed, unreachable event and for believers, it’s possible to change it. Persistent people don’t mind the position of destiny because they trust in their ability to change their stories.
      Cats prepare themselves repeatedly because they know that every situation is different. This is not faith: this is attitude and habit: the nature of cats.
      It’s possible that human beings connect faith and perseverance because this behaviour is inherent to their nature. This process is natural, and some people defy the commonplace to achieve the incredible. They imagine something and believe it exists somewhere. Humanity, in general, believes in a place where there is someone or some force organizing the universe – something incomprehensible, by the way. Thus, faith is a construct created by humanity to move forward, regardless of the obstacles. Perseverance is the skill to turn our dreams into reality. Perseverance is reality, knowledge, and failures are perfect partners for adventurers.
     We might say that faith belongs to weak people who share their anguish and responsibilities with the divine. Persistent people fight, and their belief in victory stems from their willpower. So, faith and willpower are similar and perseverance is the desire to move forward because we want to.
