“Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.” –William James
According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary faith is a “strong belief or trust in someone or something.”  I believe that having faith in something is essential in a healthy human existence.  Faith is an expression of hope that there is something better.  I believe faith is engrained in our minds from the first day on this earth.  It is more than just a wish for something, it is a firm believing and spiritual connection to something greater.



Faith is an expression that goes beyond the conscious mind.  I believe faith is one of the original expressions of the human heart.  Our hearts provide faith in things that are uncertain.  The uncertainty in the future of humanity is indisputable, but people are still having kids because they have faith in humanity and what is to come.
Is faith the key to eternal happiness?  The easier it becomes to live in this world, the easier it is to lose faith.  With technology a pivotal part in the way the world turns, I believe we are losing faith and happiness.  Because of technology, things are becoming more convenient and the need to believe in a greater good is becoming less necessary.  There is no need to put faith in the earth that it will yield food because we have supermarkets and grocery stores.  Without faith we lose the little aspects of life that bring happiness.




Faith is what enables positive growth and movement in everyday life.  It is what keeps the mind and emotions balanced.  It provides peace, support, comfort, security, and awareness that there is something better to come.

People who lack faith are those who are trapped in bad situations, jobs they hate, and relationships that are going nowhere.  They stay in circumstances that don’t make them happy because they don’t have faith that something better will come along.

Whether you are a religious person or not, we can agree that faith is one of the most important things in life.  I believe it is a quality that we are born with and as we grow older we define it in our own unique way. 
“Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.” –Mahatma Gandhi

Faith is a doorway to the greater good of the world, recognizing that we need faith in humanity is the first step to opening the door.

Namaste,

My spiritually ignites creativity within me.  Recently I have been feeling very creative expressing myself and my spirituality through drawing, painting, and yoga.  I believe that there is a strong connection between spirituality and creativity.  Creativity doesn’t necessarily mean that I am expressing myself in flawless pieces of art, it means that the concept of creativity is visible in everything do.


I define creativity as an inspired expression of feelings and emotions.  My creativity is drawn from different experiences and influences in my life.  I believe that creativity is spontaneous and can depict any emotion or aspect of human nature at a certain time. 

Often the greatest works of creativity come from those that feel spiritually connected with something.  Some people confuse creativity with fine art.  Creativity is not limited to those who are talented and gifted in the arts, but anyone who channels emotion in a way to create a physical connection with something. 
Spiritually comes second nature to me and so does my creativity.  I nurture my spirituality through my creativity and vice versa. One without the other makes me feel like I am not doing everything that I can.
Scientifically, our brain has a creative side and a logical side.  The creative side of the brain processes spirituality.  I believe that spiritual people are able to think outside of the box more effectively and are able to dig down deep and connect with the wisdom in the mind.

I try making sure I never limit my thoughts and ideas.  A creative mind is one engulfed in spirituality and emotion.  I find when I limit my thoughts I feel restricted and flustered.  Releasing all inhibitions creates a healthy environment for spiritually. 
The connection between two of the greatest aspects of life is undeniable.  Here are a few of my favorite creativity quotes.

“Spiritual growth and creativity are two sides of the same coin.” –Lada Ray



“Creativity is the power to connect to the seemingly unconnected” –William Plomer
“Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple.” – Charles Mingus
“You can’t use up creativity, the more you use, the more you have.” –Maya Angelou
“The creative adult is the child who survived.”
“Creativity is the opposite of TV.” – Jerry Stahl

Release your creativity through spirituality.

Namaste.
