Losing way, losing faith?

Darkness—the greatest fear of many people, including me. When you are in the dark not knowing which way to go, there are only 2 options: to stay or to walk on. What would you do?

 People get lost in the dark. Darkness is actually the most formidable thing in many people’s mind. In such situation, some just stand there and look back; some walk on unwillingly with hesitation; and few people opt to continue their journey with confidence and belief even though they have no idea about what is going to happen next second.

The first type certainly has little likelihood to find their way out as they do nothing to help themselves. Then what about the other two?

You may think the other two types are more or less the same. But I would say faith makes the biggest difference and makes people know where their destination is.  Yet it is something seemingly abstract and unreachable, it is with us anytime and anywhere. People having faith in themselves are motivated and enthusiastic, with hopes of achieving their goals and seeing a bright future. Even in times of difficulty and uncertainty, they never drift with the tide and are not dubious of the decisions they have made.

 I must admit there are not many type-three people in the world, especially in Hong Kong where people live a life of hustle and bustle, a routine indeed. Without a clear goal and faith in themselves, they become blind followers of others. That more and more teenagers are getting addicted to drugs is in particular a cogent proof. They fail to endure the temptation and fall into traps that bring life-long disruption to their future. If they had had faith in themselves and strong determination, they surely would not have ruined their lives.

Life is all about how we walk our own paths. Having faith in ourselves allows us to take a step out of fear and darkness. Have you taken this step?
