believe

a guy i used to know told me once that he loved the word "believe". he said that he loved it because it inspired hope and faith that things were going to be better. i wonder...is this just the power of the mind? or is it something bigger then that? does believing somehow conjure up power that helps propel further what you could not have achieved without believing? there's a famous verse in the bible that says, "The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, 'Move!' and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn't be able to tackle." this verse has always bugged me. do you think if you really believed that you could move a mountain? it seems crazy. maybe that's why i haven't moved a mountain lately.

i'd love to hear your thoughts about this.

i hope the holidays are treating you well. take care...
