A wise man once said " if one has faith; one has everything". The man who spoke these profound words was the spiritual guru of the 19th century an Indian yogi named Ramekrishna Paramahamsa. The textbook definition of faith is to have complete trust and assurance in someone or something.
Whether you have faith in yourself or in a doctrine of religion, faith is as essential to this beautiful thing called life as the air we breathe.
Some agree that there are two aspects to examine when it comes to faith; intellectual assent and trust. For example, intellectual assent is the recognition that a chair is designed to support one who sits in it. Trust, is actually sitting in the chair. Perpetual faith can be a force multiplier while incredulity can create obstacles. It's all in the approach.
