Faith is required when the momentum of Karma in your mind seems infinite.
You can think of yourself, 5 years, 10 years back, and see, it is thinner, lighter than it used to be.
Constantly search for the feeling of progress.

People overestimate what they can do in a day, and underestimate what
they can do in a year.
A year of using your mind, directing your mind.
A year of saying I will not be dependent.
I will train myself to draw state from within, to validate myself.
To not constantly look for outward validation.
A year of looking for what is fun, what has contribution, value,
and laying down a brick in the structure of such a life everyday..not just for her,
but just incase she comes, she will have a tempting place to stay.
