I don't rightly remember if this is something I read on the Internet or something I gleaned from a TED talk, but either way, it was one of those AH HA moments.
Working for the military, I've often heard the phrase, "Hope is not a plan," usually in response to someone saying something along the lines of, "Well we hope..." this will happen or this group of people will come through or ...you get the idea.
Hope is passive. When we hope for something, we sit by and wait for things to happen.
Faith, on the other hand, is active. When we have faith, we move forward as if things are happening to bring about a certain outcome, that people will come through on their word.
We've all heard that things in motion tend to stay in motion. Faith is the catalyst, the energy source of that motion.
It has been said that faith can move mountains. What mountains are your faith moving today?
Namaste!
