#26 FAITH: The most important one of all

26: FAITH

Without it, there’s nothing. You can work as hard as you want, read every book in the world, do all the things you see other “successful” people doing, but without faith you’re just spinning your wheels. It took a while for my hair to get on track. Many times I just wanted to quit and slap some relaxer on it. I didn’t always know where I was going— and, I’ll confess, I didn’t always feel great about the journey—but I had faith that I was headed in the right direction. I have questioned my faith more times than I can count. The thing about faith, I realized, is that you have to let go of “how” something is going to happen and just fi x your mind on “that” it’s going to happen—or, better yet, embrace the fact that it’s already happening! It’s a hard one to truly master, but there are few things more powerful than faith. Period. My hair teaches me to have faith!

*Every day starting February 24th at 11:11AM EST (it is said that the angels sing at this time!) until April 10 I will count down the remaining days of our 'A Call to HAIRiette ARMS' fundraising campaign. We're raising funds to create an interactive series --with YOU!-- and a haircare line (a portion of which goes to charity, THE ACTOR'S FUND).

We'll share one essay from my upcoming book I FOUND GOD IN MY HAIR: 98 spiritual principles I learned from my relationship with…my hair! (via twitter: @tanyaTTwright, @HAIRietteharlem). As with all things that give you struggle, my hair has taught me a lot about life, love…and FAITH. It is my hope you will find inspiration in these essays to apply to your own life.
