How many millions of websites are there on the Internet?
Who knows? But, one thing that is for certain is that
behind every domain is a man, woman or company looking to
meet its own financial goals.
The trick of an article title like this one is that by
using the word "faith" in the title, many people will
automatically assume that it is an article about religion.
Having said that, it is important to note that this article
is NOT about religion.
This article is actually about "faith," which is entirely
separate from religion.
Do you have faith in your children that they will always do
the right thing? This kind of "faith" is an "absolute
belief" in the character and integrity of your children.
And that my friend is different from a "religious belief."
Do you have faith that the sun will arise in the East
tomorrow morning? This kind of "faith" is an "absolute
belief" in the processes of nature.
The Power Of The Sun In Teaching Faith
I am not talking about "faith" in the Egyptian sun god Ra
or the Greek sun god Apollo. Like I told you before, this
is not an article about religion. Instead, this article is
about faith and understanding the principles of faith.
Consider for a moment how you think about the sun. When you
go to bed each night, you know beyond a shadow of a doubt
that the sun will rise the next day. You know that if it is
dark outside, it is only a matter of hours before the sun's
light fills your day.
Think about how much confidence you have in the idea of the
sun rising tomorrow morning to light another day. Yes,
clouds might hide the sun from our direct view, but those
clouds cannot block all of the sun's light. Those clouds
might darken our skies, but they cannot prevent the sun
from rising.
If I had told you that the sun would not come up tomorrow
morning, then you would have known me to be a fool.
So how is it that you could so confidently think of me as a
fool, if I were to say the sun would not rise tomorrow
morning?
For the sake of argument, dwell for just a moment on the
absolute certainty that you have in your heart and mind
that the sun will rise tomorrow morning.
The feeling you have right now is what it really means to
have "faith."
An Unshakable Belief
As a child, I remember hearing stories about people who had
that absolute faith that things would go their way. I heard
one time about a preacher who had a faith beyond measure.
Yes, I am talking about a preacher, but I am still not
talking about religion.
The preacher had told his friends that he was going on a
trip the following Friday. But, his friends also knew that
he really did not have the money for such a trip, and they
said as much to the preacher.
The preacher told them that the money he needed for his
trip would be provided to him. Penniless and faithful, this
man had a real faith, even an unbreakable certainty that
his trip would become possible. For him, it was not a
matter of "if" he could get the money for his trip; it was
a matter of "he will have the money" in time for his trip.
On Thursday, the day before his scheduled trip, one of his
friends asked him if he had gotten the money for his trip
yet. The preacher dutifully said no, but assured his friend
that he would have the money in time for his trip.
Sure enough, Friday morning came, and his friend produced
enough money to ensure that the preacher's trip would go
off without a hitch.
Cheating You Say?
The preacher's faith paid off for him and his planned trip.
Sure, in this case the preacher's friend came through to
reward the preacher's faith. And one might try to argue
that it was not an act of "reliable" faith that produced
that result.
But as I look around at people I know, I see the principle
of faith at work in their lives.
Frequently I hear people tell me, "Clinton, this month we
will see a 20% increase in sales." And then it comes to
pass.
People tell me, "Clinton, my business will generate a
quarter million in sales this year," and then it happens.
My mentors tell me that the first step to success is
setting measurable goals and believing with an unshakeable
faith that those outcomes will come to fruition.
Poppycock
For years, I had believed that this faith thing was just a
bunch of poppycock. Then one day, I convinced myself that a
particular goal was within my reach. Things had been going
my way, so I decided that I would earn $500 per month
online, to supplement my families tight financial resources.
My faith was unshakeable; I knew in that moment that I
would make $500 that month and each month thereafter. And
then it happened.
Yes, I was able to have an unbreakable belief in myself
with my small goal, and then I was able to realize that
small goal. Soon after, I promptly forgot about my newfound
manifestation of faith.
Just like many other people, when I finally learned and
manifested the principle of faith for the first time, I
thanked chance for delivering the goods.
Realizing The Power Of Faith In My Online Business
One day, I looked back and realized that chance may have
not been in play to bring me my previous success. I
considered the possibility that perhaps faith did have a
role after all. So, I created a new goal. And then I built
up my faith, practicing the belief that what I desired
would come true. I set a goal to earn as much from my
online business, as I did each week from my daytime job.
Within the next few weeks, I built up my confidence level.
One day, the light just came on. I knew deep in my heart
that my goal would be realized. In that moment, I realized
within myself an unshakeable belief that I would reach my
goal.
Within a few days, my online sales began to increase to a
level that was required for me to manifest my stated goal.
The Human Condition
Unbreakable faith had delivered twice for me, and yet I let
it pass another six months before I tried again. So soon we
forget and return to a condition of disbelief.
My wife and I had been talking about taking a family
vacation, but we really did not have the money to do so.
Within just a few days, I realized that the power of faith
could deliver a family vacation for my family, so I made a
decision to earn $12,000 to pay for a vacation to remember.
This time, I did not have to prepare myself to accept the
faith that my desire would come true. I just decided in
that instant that I would earn the money needed for our
family getaway.
How did it work out?
Within the next seven days, my business earned $18,000 in
pure profit. It truly was a vacation of a lifetime for my
family and I.
Remembering The Sunrise
When you learn to manifest the power of faith in your own
life and your business, you also will reap the rewards of
faith.
However you define your goals and success in your own life,
they will come true, once you make the decision to believe
with unwavering faith that your goals will become a reality.
