There is a certain level of faith when it comes to taking on projects. In reality, it takes a certain level of faith to accomplish most if not all tasks. I speak of faith apart from religious context. I’m speaking from a stand point of belief and faith of the self. It’s easy to say or feel like you believe in yourself but it takes more than that to express it. I would like to say it is courage, and maybe it is, but I feel it’s always been a bit more abstract. I always pondered how to measure the personal growth of a person. I realize the simplest answer is time, but that entails years of memories, experiences, and emotions. All these together make up a person but a person always inevitable has to act in accordance to a reaction to the world they are presented to under a perception based on environment. In short, everyone can be different and similar at the same time. It can be difficult to believe in yourself if you don’t know yourself.  After looking at Seth Godin’s blog I noticed a post that caught my attention about the subject of ‘believing in yourself’ He says instead “Do work you can believe in.” That’s something I believe in. I would rather not think too much about myself, it can occupy your time and waste lots of it. Instead I’m going to think about my work, and what I enjoy. Part of me will wonder what I’m perceived as but I don’t feel that it’s that important. My work will speak for itself because I enjoy what I do. If this is truth to me then that’s all that matters in the end. Time will measure growth and progress. Humans cannot perceive the future or past. We can only perceive time going in one direction; forward. So we have to live in the now and think about what kind of work we want to do.

Time

Time isn’t prejudice and does not discriminate; it will give just as much as it takes. That’s why patience is indeed a virtue. Time is also what stories are made of; There’s a beginning, middle and end. We don’t understand the full scope of things until we know the whole story, and the truth to it, if it exists. The story is everything; it’s what makes people care. Time is what measures the growth of a person. I have been focusing lately on my writing when it comes to the work I put forth academically or artistically. The importance of cohesiveness is self-explanatory once it’s understood that in order to attain or create something a series of steps must be taken in order for progress to become relevant. This is can be seen as work, time, effort, or a story. A story of how you or me set out on a journey because something happened that changed us. We found this truth and it was enough for us to make a decision about how we choose to live, or not to live. It can be about reaching for higher education, or preparing for a dream job, or just love. Everyone has their own story and time is the most valuable commodity we have. I’d like to apply this concept in everything I do, because I believe my life has a pretty good story and if I can find a way to present it in such a way people would also believe it’s a good story. I’m currently in the middle of my story, I couldn’t tell you which way it might end, unfortunately despite my understanding of time I can’t observe time itself. But I can tell you that as long as I keep focus I’ll have a better idea of what my future can look like.
