Faith is taking the first step: Faith is a hard thing, right? It asks us to trust in something without seeing the results or proof of it working our way. Yet, we are expected to believe in it without adequate proof. Whether it is a question of religion, confidence or belief in our abilities, this question will remain the same. The answer however is not in having the results but the trust to make it work. And that’s precisely why faith is hard and so many of us lose it along the way. The truth is, sometimes it is important to lose this faith only to find a new one. Everything renews, including the definition of who we are, and what we trust and believe in.
Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase Meaning
This is such a powerful quote because it asks us to trust in faith in the smallest instances. The faith can be as simple as belief in ourselves or the global good of the world. It is hard to maintain this belief, especially when things go against you. These things will make you question the faith and ask whether it is even worth having this faith. It is in these moments that the strength of faith becomes important. It is ok to lose it once in a while, but we have to find our way back to it.
Because, without faith, we are left with nothing. Things start to lose meaning and everything feels haywire. It is utter chaos. Faith can act as a north star and point us in the right direction. It is this faith which gives us such beautiful inspirational stories from the likes of Martin Luther King and many others. They all trusted in something, even when the odds were against them. They found a strength when the support system was bent on proving them wrong. Such faith acts as a beacon to us – to take the first step even when we don’t see the whole staircase. Maybe we don’t need to see it all to trust something. But the point is that we have to find some connection that helps us build this faith.
Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

Future is always uncertain, one must have to take side of faith.. without faith no one will be able to act. Title it self described its meaning.
Success always start from the first step which is most difficult for any future prospect plans.
True Umesh. Future is always uncertain. We do not really have much control over the outcomes and the process, but we sure have the control over what we choose to believe in and aspire for. The more we focus on that, the closer we get to the true success we really deserve.
amazing post :)

This is SUPERB post Vinay! Every single thought shared here is so relating to what I have learnt in my life though experiences and books. You have mentioned everything here and hence made me go speechless on this. Thanks time and again for such powerful posts :)

Faith is “the belief in ourselves and our abilities”- nothing could be truer….. the belief that we shall succeed in one day, the belief that failure is the pillar of success… :-)
Thank you Maniparna, beliefs sure are very powerful tools and they can simply elevate life to a very high standard. Faith surely is one among them, perhaps maybe even the most important one of them all :)
the line says it all ” the trust that something good is going to happen no matter how bad things might feel.”…wow it gives 1000 times extra confidence to work more harder……
Thank you Mayuresh :). I guess that is something which defines an optimist or a pessimist or even a realist to that matter :). We all have to believe that things are going to turn around, we all have to believe that we can make a difference if we just sit tight and decide to and we all need to know that every answer we need is right within us and that faith makes a lot of difference all along the way.
Great post – very encouraging lines.
Thank you Kalpanaa :)
