We live by faith, or we do not live at all. Everything we do is an act of faith. When you get in your car to take a trip, you have faith that you will reach the destination. When you eat healthy food and exercise, you have faith that you will live at a ripe old age. Even many terminally ill people have faith that they will overcome their disease. When you invest in your 401K you have faith that it will grow into a large nest egg for your retirement. You get married by faith, raise your children by faith, pursue your education by faith and the list goes on. So you see, without some form of faith, you wouldn’t even get out of bed in the morning!
Someone said, we either venture or vegetate because we cannot know the end of anything at its beginning. Jesus said, by faith we can move mountains. I say that without faith you cannot even move an ant hill. I have learned, and am learning, that faith is not a steady thing. It ebbs and flows like an ocean current. We exchange a life of doubt diversified by faith for a life of faith diversified by doubt.
Yesterday you may have been filled with hope about your network marketing business after a positive conversation with a new prospect. Today that very prospect may have disappointed you by not calling you back as he or she said they would—thus doubt set in and discouragement ensued. In network marketing, or in anything for that matter, we need faith strong enough to overcome our doubts.
What would have happened if Thomas Edison let doubt overcome his faith? What would have happen if Mr. Edison, in doubt, gave up after 9,999 failed attempts to produce an incandescent lamp? How many of us have that kind of faith? What would have happened if the Wright Brother’s, Henry Ford, Napoleon Hill or myriads of others would have let doubt overcome their faith? The world that we live in would be a different place, wouldn’t it?
Who doesn’t get discouraged? Who doesn’t have doubts? My friend, it is the person who does not let their doubts overcome their faith, but rather overcomes their doubts by their faith that will experience outstanding success. Though faith and doubt exist; faith must overcome all doubt to have the success that you are seeking in network marketing or any other endeavor.
Do you have faith enough to carry you through your doubts? I believe that you do. When doubts arise, as they will, don’t let them get you down. Go beyond doubt, in faith that what you are seeking, you will find. When doubts arise, go ahead, take one more step in faith and just see what will happen. Look at what happened to the great ones I mentioned above. They were not unlike you, except maybe in one point; their faith was greater than their doubt and it was that faith that carried them through to victory. You can be just like them and you must to have the success you desire.
The MLM success secret of having more faith than you do doubt is critical to your network marketing success and success in all facets of life for that matter. Faith requires action. It is when you stop taking action that doubt will win. So get up and go and don’t stop taking steps of faith until doubts diminish and your dreams become a reality.
