“Happiness is the reason I seek God - it feels good, so I keep doing it.

It’s not really about ‘believing’ in God. I have first hand experience with the effects of this power in my life; faith is based on first hand experience. There are things in my life that were impossible to do that are now done. The only thing that changed was the addition of prayer, meditation and a couple of other seemingly unrelated spiritual practices.

The thing that most shaped my faith and belief is the passage of time. The more I act based on spiritual principals, the more first-hand experience I get with the positive effects of trusting God. Most days I don’t need faith because I already have experience. Trying to base my actions on the principals of trusting God, personal accountability and being of service to others, regardless of the current state of affairs, has produced good results; I can’t imagine doing things any other way.”
