Faith has been on my mind a lot in recent weeks as I've been coaching clients and as I've been working on my own big goals.

I wanted to share my favorite passage on faith from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

Read it slowly and let it sink in:

"Have faith in yourself; faith in the Infinite.

Before we begin, you should be reminded again that:

Faith is the "eternal elixir" which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!

The foregoing sentence is worth reading a second time, and a third, and a fourth. It is worth reading aloud!

Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!

Faith is the basis of all "miracles" and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science!

Faith is the only known antidote to failure!

Faith is the element, the "chemical" which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.

Faith is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the spiritual equivalent.

Faith is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man."

I've said for years that you can't try to build your dream business or achieve your dreams with an attitude of "we will see if this works" -- you have to be here until it works. That's faith.

What faith actually looks like for some of my clients:

 - launching again even after several "failed launches"

- showing up on social media selling private coaching spots even after a 6 month "dry spell" -- and then signing two back to back!

- experimenting with different sales processes 

- hiring team members for the first time, it not going well, and trying again

- raising their prices, getting no's, and sticking with it until they got their first few yes's at the new rate

- niching down for one client

- un-niching for a different client 

- posting on social media their real thoughts about a subject

I can go on and on, because faith is at the center of what I do with clients. Not passive faith. Creative faith.

The kind of faith that creates miracles.

Wherever you're at in your journey in creating your abundant life, faith will be an integral part of it.

The thing is, faith is not forged when everything is working.

Faith is forged before everything clicks. Faith is forged when it looks like it's not working, and you choose to believe anyway.

Price Pritchett said "you must act as if success is guaranteed."

How do you know you're operating in faith?

You're taking aligned action towards your vision. It is not passive. It is active.

You will be asking for things you have never asked for before,

believing things you have never believed before,

and doing things you never done before...

Moving the needle on the vision you are meant to steward.

Aligned action is faith expressed. 

My wish for you today: activate your faith and notice what you feel inspired to do from that place of belief. 

And have fun.

Happy Creating,
