About This Quote

Faith is a key ingredient for any kind of success. Success is a result of faith, not the other way around. You can have a dream and expect that someone else’s faith will make it a reality for you, but that’s simply not how life works. Faith is something that you have to have for yourself.

In the book of Habakkuk, the prophet Habakkuk discusses this idea with God directly. He says, “No one can have a dream and expect someone else’s faith to make it a reality for him."
