I was watching a TV series one night when I took in one scene. A man was seeking his community votes, and people   36  wanted to know why they should give him their   37 . He took them to his house and on every   38   in his house was the word “Faith” pasted. People raised lots of   39   to find out why the word was pasted on his mirrors. He said, “My dad often   40  me to believe that as long as you have   41 , you should have faith. Every time you look in to the mirror, you’re looking at yourself and see ‘Faith’. ”

The   42   I learned from this is simple — faith is a living thing and in the same way we’re all   43   given 24 hours a day and we’re all given the same measure of faith. Faith keeps us going when things get   44  ! Why is some people’s faith stronger than that of others? Exercise! If we choose to exercise our faith, it will   45  ; but if we choose not to, it remains weak. Some people might   46   that they don’t have faith, but we all practice faith every day even if we don’t   47   it was faith. Daily   48  , such as studying, investing or reaching for a dream, take faith.
