In the Bible Book of St. Matthew 21: v22 it says “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” Isn’t this a beautiful thought? Belief! This is the forerunner of “Fake it till you make it.” This was one of the best pieces of advice that I ever received when I first started studying Spirituality in AA and trying to figure out just what Faith was all about. Faking it till I made it is no different than the “act as if” that I had heard many times before. If the successful say it, I say it. If they do something, I do it. Soon, I was not copying anymore but feeling as if it were original with me.
The mind is probably our most powerful tool. It uses heavily the Spiritual Law of Attraction, which is that you get out of life what you put into it. Think of a mirror on the wall. It reflects only the image that is put into it, not what we always wish to see. Put frowns, scars, dirt into the mirror on the wall and expect to get frowns, scars, and dirt in return from the mirror. Put faith and belief into the mirror of your life and EXPECT faith and belief in return.
This brings us back to Conceive, Believe and Achieve. If your fertile mind will Conceive an idea, then Believe in it, and then you will Achieve it. Simple but not always easy. These uneasy times are a great time to work on strengthening our minds to think positively and trust in the results. This is belief or faith.
