Helplessness and faith

One of the worse feelings to experience is helplessness. Not that you had a choice in the events you may be in, but to be unable to do anything about it makes you feel really weak and useless. No matter how much you may want to put in effort to change to the circumstances, nothing seems to work.

The only thing that can rely on is faith. To really believe that somehow something extraordinary may happen. Something may change the situation. That single belief of something to hold on to, to give you strength and hope. That even in the darkest of valleys, there would be a ray of light to bring you out of the darkness.

I just truly want to make a difference in lives. To help, not just for myself, but to really and sincerely make this place a better place to live in. Although I may be just one person, I will want to do something, not aiming to please anyone, but just to really make things just a wee little bit better for everyone.

Everyone has their dreams and ambitions. Some work for it, some just dream for it.

They think they live by what they want. But in actual fact, they are really guided by what they are afraid of. Is this really the truth behind our ambitions and motivation?

Is it because you fear of lagging behind, you will work your ass off to impress. To get a head start of everyone else?

Is it because of the fear of insecurity, you will make others feel inferior to you so that you have someone beneath you can step on.

Or simply because, of the fear of taking risk, will end up settling for something more stable at the expense of your ambitions.

To be honest, the question cannot be answered. Simply because it was not fear to start with. But the fear of not attaining the ambition is what is more scary.
