We usually treat faith as a transaction. It requires an object. We tend to have faith in something — a deity, the universe, a grand plan, or even yourself.
But faith doesn't actually need a target. It isn't a belief system at all — it's closer to a baseline state of the nervous system: the quiet, unbothered assumption that things will work out. Not because a higher power promised you they would, and not because you're smart enough to engineer the outcome. Just a deep, physical knowing that you don't have to panic.
When you strip away the religion, the manifesting, and the self-help mantras, you aren't left with nihilism. You're left with intransitive faith. Faith without an object.
You don't have to believe in anything to stop bracing. You just have to trust the ground beneath your feet.
