In the fall of 1995, I ventured alone into the vast northeastern reaches of Nepal on a trek to the third tallest mountain known as Kanchenjunga. Within the first three hours of walking, I discovered that the many dirt trails leading off the main one from Cavalli made them indistinguishable and I was going to get lost quickly in the lush, green jungle if I didn't ask for directions frequently. Well, I got lost anyway.Over the course of the next week, I had many friendly Nepalese people give me guidance toward my destination, the small town of Taplejung, but what I didn't know was I was going in a big circle around the town. I stayed the nights with numerous and generous families who spoke none or very little English, and my Nepali was only as good as my language book.During that time, I found a strange confidence flowing through me that made me happy rather than afraid. I knew, just knew, that I was being watched over and had tremendous faith that I would not only enjoy my trip, but also meet lots of wonderful people, see incredibly beautiful countryside, eat exotic food and come home with many one-of-a-kind memories.When you have that deep down knowing, your attitude changes, you relax and you experience the adventure of life with every cell in your body. Sometimes, I get the same feeling before my co-author Michael Conrad Kelley and I give a talk to a group of business people, or before I leave the start line at one of my bicycle races. It is a sensation of excitement and anticipation with a dash of the unknown mixed in.Faith takes many forms and feelings. Often, it's felt as confidence, while at other times it comes as an understanding…if you just let go things will work out just fine. Having faith in yourself, and the process of the universe, enables you to see life clearly without chaos and confusion.Faith is found in knowing you're not alone and accepting it. Faith is an intangible energy that resides in all of us, if you open your heart and mind and allow it to manifest. When you do, your life will never be the same.In the end, it's just one man's opinion, mine.Keith E. Renninson is a motivational speaker and co-author of the popular parenting tool and illustrated children's book "Zooch the Pooch, My Best Friend." Through the 1990's with much self-examination, academic study, bicycle racing, mountain climbing, he discovered a renewed zest of life, which included a love of metaphysics, philosophy, humor, writing and speaking. As Keith says, "Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue...it's all in what you make of it."
