"If you are waiting for something to happen before you begin what you want to do, it will never happen. If you are waiting to get something before you do what you say you want to do, you'll never get started. If you are waiting for the right time, the right person, the right circumstances, you could be waiting forever. How about this, what can you do right now? Can you write a letter? Make a call? Finish a plan? Structure a goal? Can you pick a name? Paint a wall? Ask a question? Sweep a floor? Can you structure a schedule? Can you project a date? Can you fulfill a promise? Can you read a book? Can you stop doing all the things you do that keep you from doing the one thing you want to do? Can you pray? Can you sing? Can you dance where you are? Whatever you can do, you better do it now? Now is all you have to work with." From, "Acts Of Faith" By: Iyanla Vanzant

All things are done with an act of faith, whether we know it or not. We have faith that we can walk or drive over a bridge and get to the otherside without the bridge falling. We don't even think about it. So we need to live our lives with faith, doing the things we need to do and should do to help ourselves and others without a thought of waiting for the perfect situation. True faith.
How well our ancestors knew about faith, and they lead the way with only hope and never perfect conditions.
