Having faith does not mean being worry‑free. I still worry about money, success, belonging, and whether I can keep this journey going. However, I’m able to recognize that the right response is not to restructure my life to make these worries disappear. It’s to develop a capacity to sit with those anxieties, focus on what I can control, and to open myself up to the world. As the spiritual teacher Sharon Salzberg has written, “whatever takes us to our edge, to our outer limits, leads us to the heart of life’s mystery, and there we find faith.”
