What matters?

Anything that we think matters
only matters because we believe it does.
Why do we choose to believe one thing,
and not another?

Today, we believe one thing,
tomorrow another.
Today one thing matters,
tomorrow another.

What if we believed in nothing?
Would nothing matter?

What if we believed in everything?
Every possibility.

What if we believed in things we couldn't define?
What if we believed in things we could not see?
What if we believed in things we did not know?

Would everything matter?
Would everything carry a higher degree of importance?
Would everything hold the potential for greater meaning?

We know our beliefs create our perceptions.
We know our perceptions create our reality.
Yet, if we stick to what we believe,
we confine our reality
to only what we already know.

If we suspend our reality,
our need to understand everything,
or even anything:
What will our reality look like?

Will everything be possible?
Will we paint our world in every moment?

What really matters?
Does what we believe even matter at all?
Or, does what we don't believe matter more?

Does what we can't see,
what we can't understand,
what we can't define,
matter the most?

This is why Faith works.
Because we can suspend our ties
with the reality we have attached ourselves to.

We can break past the constraints
we have placed on ourselves.
We can believe in something
which we cannot
define, see, or understand.

Now our vision is opened to the potential beyond.
To infinite potential.
Limitless.

Anything is possible.
And it is only possible
because we believe it is.

What really matters?
Faith in the beyond.
It’s the only thing
that truly matters.
