The strongest, most inspiring people in history are the ones who chose to love regardless of their circumstances.

What gives some people the ability to love where others fail?

Faith.Faithis the decision tolove,no matter the circumstances.

Daniel Dowling

And the more you choose love, the greater your faith will grow.

Its easy to lose hope in this upside-down world full of poverty, war, and pain.

Love, under these conditions, can seem pointlesseven weak.

But it’s just the opposite.

Love can be difficult.

But if you ask me, it’s our greatest purpose.

Here are five ways I attempt to keep faith when it seems impossible:

1.

Be generous to others.

Sometimes the greatest strength we can receive comes through helping others in need.

Let inspiration help you stay connected through faith.

When I’m feeling hopeless, I read about the lives of people whove demonstrated faith in amazing ways.

Surround yourself with people you admire.

We are how we spend our time.

(Finding those types of friends has been hard.

Focusing onbeingthat kind of friend has helped.)

Get the ball rolling first thing in the morning.

That starts my day with the momentum I need to make even the hardest decisions.

Faith is the decision to love when it seems impossible.
