149- Faith and Potential

#Faith is a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, it enables the explorer, pioneer, or innovator to accomplish previously impossible feats. Their unwavering #belief in a successful outcome allows them to persevere in the face of contradicting evidence.

On the other hand, that same resilience can doom those individuals to a lifetime of frustration and futile pursuits – causing them to hold on to an idea or ideology that reality refuses to accept.

Simultaneously, that same Faith can shape us into an inspirational failure or corrupt us into becoming a predatory success.

Who we are and what we do are both byproducts of what we choose to believe. Having clarity on who we could be helps us ensure that our Faith in what we could do never gets in the way of our own potential.
