“When logic and reason runs out, all you have left is faith.”

    Life is merciless. Life will strike you when you are down, when you are on your last dollar, when you are holding on to your last breath. That moment you think nothing can get worse, life has a response. Your goals, dreams, and ambitions seem farther and farther away. Those you hold dear in your life, may leave you at a time you needed them most. Things you took for granted may be temporary and never appear in your life ever again. Opportunities you were once waiting for, vanish into the shadows and will never present themselves to you again. You feel like you have nothing left to hold on to, nothing left to fight for. You deem your purpose in life as pointless. You lose your fight, your drive, your motivation, your heart, your desire for another breath.

    First, your mind turns to logic. Alright, logically things could turn around. It's possible. It COULD happen. Logic in your head tells you there are other scenarios, other alternative routes to a brighter future, other events that could take place in your life. With logic, you can hold on for a moment. You feel like you at least have a way out of the current state you are in. You take a step back, take a breath, and seem to understand that change is possible. You could possibly get out of this situation alive. You start to weigh out your options and courses in which you find yourself possibly departing on. Questioning yourself as to which course deems possible in your journey to a better life, you then create questions in your head.

    Then your mind creeps over toward reason. Now, reason is a bit of a pain in the ass. Reason can be influenced by a person's state of mind, past experience, feelings on the issue, etc. Reasoning is when you start to weigh everything out and contemplate whether your possibly logical conclusions could happen and why. When you use reason to determine why something is happening to you, most likely a third party individual could use their reasoning skills and come up with an alternate outcome in their mind. Let's face it, reasoning is biased as can be, and must be used during a clear and calm state of mind. Depending on the severity and critical your situation effects your mindset and logic, reasoning may have little to no effect on boosting your drive to work through your time of hardship and adversity.

    When the dust settles, and the air becomes clear, there is one last line of support one reaches out to. Faith. Faith is the purpose for your fight, your struggle, your hustle, your drive, your motivation, your sense of meaning. Faith, in God (or any individual's worshiped deity), gives you that last breath of hope that maybe life can change. You put your life in His hands, to guide you through the darkness, for without darkness, there would be no light. You give your all to God, and pray that you see better days. Sometimes, prayer is all you have. Finding yourself at a crossroad in life, you let your faith lift your spirits. Faith brings you purpose. Life without meaning is not life at all. So when you take the time to think of your purpose here on Earth, of why you exist, of the meaning behind the madness, you draw conclusions that construct your faith. Faith in God leads you to understand that everything happens for a reason, to better yourself or someone you come in contact with. Your hardships may inspire others, may show others what the human race is possible of. A glimpse of your smile on a bad day, may lead someone to change their life. A good dead you may have partaken in, may create a chain of positive thoughts or actions in which help influence the rise of kindness among man-kind. A hardship or difficult relationship may help sculpt and mold your significant other, or yourself, into the better individual you will become.

    When logic and reasoning runs out, and all you have left is faith, that is all you need. Faith is your logic. Faith is your reasoning. Faith is your purpose. For without purpose, what are you fighting for? Purpose gives us life. So when you feel like you have ran out of logic, and reason is running low, lean toward faith. Faith is the answer.
