Wow! That’s a mouthful. Increasing your faith is not an easy subject to tackle. But, in this economic and crazy world, our faith is being tested literally every day and sometimes by the hour.
Our faith is tested primarily by bad news or disappointing situations that we really wanted to happen. The trick is in not believing in other people but believing in yourself and your God given ability. Most times, we are trying to get a job, get picked at an audition, get selected for a television role, get picked for the team, etc.
Our faith gets shaken if we do NOT get selected as it makes us not believe in ourselves. We must isolate the issue and not personalize it in order to increase our faith. The more we personalize it and turn the situation inward, the more we beat ourselves up. The more we beat ourselves up, the more our faith and belief in ourselves is shaken. Doubt then creeps in which then leads to negative thoughts and negative beliefs about our inner selves.
When someone says “no, I don’t want you for this …..”, don’t worry and don’t personalize it. It’s just not your time right now for that particular job, audition, role, space, etc. It’s not a personal indictment about your ability or your character. It just means that someone else got selected and there is something else in store for you.
To increase your faith and belief in you, you must practice this everyday. The best way to practice is to listen to positive things and read positive affirmations about you, your life, your dwelling every single day without fail. Stay hopeful and never, ever lose hope and sight of your ultimate goal. Keep trying and keep striving.
