Faith. Some people see this as a belief in a higher being, such as God. I see this as faith in oneself. Ones abilities to succeed even over their biggest failures. Not that I don't believe Faith in God is important, because I do, I also believe in faith in your inner person is considerably valuable as well.
Believing in oneself is quite possibly one of the most important, and equally hardest things a person can do. After making so many mistakes, no matter the size, how are we supposed to still believe that we can make ourselves the people we want to be? My life is the perfect example. 20 years old, trying to balance college (it's time and cost), a full-time job, and a social life. If I put too much importance on one aspect, the others will take a hit. If I work too much and do not make time for school, I will fail my classes or be forced to withdraw. If I focus too much on school and stress myself out, I won't have a healthy mind and energy for work or socializing. With so much going on, how do you decide what to dedicate a great portion of your time too? I say you choose which will make you happiest in the long run. And, as much as I may not want to admit it, the answer would be school. Dedicating a large amount of time to school will (hopefully) lead me to having my dream job and developing a fun social life. Which would then ultimately lead to all three aspects of a stressful 20 year olds life come to complete bliss in the coming years. Balance is something I think I understand on a daily basis and then the next thing I know, BAM, everything is all jumbled up again.
