Faith in Everything but Ourselves

Place Your Faith Where It Makes a Difference

 
“Faith, indeed, has up to the present not been able to move real mountains, although I do not know who assumed it could. But it can put mountains where there are none.”-Friedrich Nietzsche

Of the many resources that we compete for, none are more powerful, nor rarer, than faith.

It is through faith that great things can happen. Through faith, we give organizations, companies, and people a mandate. It is our faith that people seek.

Faith in abilities.

Faith in resources.

Faith in the unlimited possibilities that await.

However, there is a crisis of faith in society. This crisis is one of a truly personal nature. After all, we have faith in everything else except where it truly matters.

We have faith in our institutions, which are slow and archaic.

We have faith in our teachers, hoping they will implant the right knowledge to their students.

We have faith in other people, hoping that they are able to do the right thing.

We have faith in leaders, expecting that they will serve our interests and not their own.

We have faith in our managers and bosses, anticipating that they will promote us and give us the title and compensation we deserve.

We have faith in our beliefs, giving ourselves up to them with the hope that our faith is rewarded.

But when it comes to the faith in ourselves, in our own abilities, we are sorely lacking. Our faith in everything else, which may seem unshakeable, is nowhere to be found when it comes to our potentialities and powers.

Why is this the case?
