Life's Little Lessons: Just believe




'Promises mean everything when you're little and the world is so big'


Everclear's Wonderful




The world is huge, experiences range from microscopically tiny to undeniably life-changing. Life is like a stormy sea with alternating periods of deceptive calm and back-breaking turmoil, and in this sea that is life, each person is one ridiculously small and powerless boat. In order to ride out the storm, we need to have an anchor, something to hold onto and to keep us from sinking in times of great trial. Sir Thomas More said,

'I'm anchored, to my principles'


-A Man For All Seaons


In times of great turmoil, our beliefs are whaxt should keep us grounded. I am not even saying solely religious beliefs either. I just feel strongly that we should believe in something good outside of ourselves. A boat does not have a brake, something within itself to help it face the strength of the sea- it has an anchor, something outside of itself that is rooted and strong enough to support the ship until calm is restored. Even in times of calm, the presence of the anchor gives the captain reassurance. Having a belief in something powerful and beautiful reassures you in times of calm and gives you something to fall back on in hard times.

I believe in God, love and hope. I am not blindly optimistic; I do not think that everything is perfect or that bad things do not and will not happen. I do believe though that somehow, in the end things will be okay, and that all I need is the strength to see the situation through. Rarely do people go looking for hardship, but it exists any way so the best thing you can do is face it. I am a strong believer of the whole '' what doesn't kill you makes you stronger approach" and this, combined with the hope of a better day, keeps me going each day.

So if you don't already, I really suggest believing in something. Let it be something larger and more powerful than yourself. Let it be something than is immortal and is unlikely to be hurt by the currents of change. But most importantly, let it be something that resonates with you.




Love you all and Stay inspired,




P.S. So let me know what you think. What is your anchor and what are your beliefs? Feel free to let me know in the comments below.

That's great wisdom.

My anchor is my faith in God, and the belief that the plans for my life and the grace that covers it are from Him.

My anchor is also love, the love I give and the love I receive. Love wouldn't be possible without God, and life would mean nothing without love.

I believe in luck and fate - that every bad thing can teach me something good.
I believe in myself - that I am good enough, brave enough, determined enough to do anything I want to and get what I want, sooner or later.

Great post, Aury.
