My perspective on faith is basically believing in what you can not see. Having faith is like being a child and believe that what your mind can imagine can come true with no limitations. Many of us lose faith when we get older because we are so use to people molding us to whatever template society believes should be acceptable. So we openly listen to people when they say "you can't" or "be more conventional". This standard becomes easy to accept because many people have lost faith in what they once believed in. I use to tell people when I was a child that I wanted to design clothes. I wanted my own clothing line. A lot of the reactions I received was that men do not design clothes unless they are gay or that won't put food on the table, etc. How do they know? Have they tried to do it? How knowledgeable are these people about the fashion industry? Do they know ALL the designers? They didn't know anything. They have never tried to attempt my dream. They lost faith in their dream because people told them that their dream was most likely unreachable. Well, I dream and I have faith in my vision that I can not touch at the moment that it will someday come true. I do have a start-up clothing company. I do make attempts at eventually designing my own clothes. If I had lost my faith in myself and in my dreams then I would have gotten stuck being just another person who gave up their faith and lost their child-like beliefs that anything is possible.

Mind over matter, in a nutshell.
If you believe you can achieve.
