Certainly true. I’ve found that during times of crisis, it’s faith that rises above the storm… our own faith and also the faith of our friends and family in us. We make it because we believe we can. And so we do. :)

“And I think that faith is integral to life. Whether it’s faith in god or faith in yourself, you must have faith in something to push yourself through the tough times. Faith is a powerful force in and of itself. Faith, I think, is that little piece deep down that tells us to dream and hope and gives us the drive to survive. In the hard times we must have faith that things will improve, that the hard times are packed with valuable lessons that will help the next time go more smoothly. We must have faith that we are where we are because we should be. We must have faith that we are making the right decisions. Without that faith– what good are we in the moment? It’s even possible that faith is a placebo, that it is what is necessary to keep us moving and stop us from fretting. But either way…we need Faith.”
