Does Faith Play A Role In Success?

by Lynne Elliott Richards
Does faith play a role in success?  This is an interesting question to ask yourself if you are serious in considering starting an online business.  The logical reason I asked myself this is because 97% of people in network marketing fail.

Let's break this question down by first defining what each noun in this question means by use of logic. I went to dictionary.com website to look up the exact meaning of the word faith. I chose the first entry and it is a very simple answer.  It reads as follows: "confidence or trust in a person or thing." 

The next noun is role. Role in dictionary.com as it pertains in my question is "proper or customary function."

The last noun in this question is success.  According to the source, success is "the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors".  I viewed the word termination and wanted to clarify its meaning since to me it has to do with the ending of a situation. It also means "an issue or result".


I will now rearrange this question through the definitions of each noun.  Does the confidence or trust in a person or thing play a proper or customary function in an issue or result? 

My answer is it's simplest form is yes!!  I will conclude with my opinion added, which is absolutely and without a doubt is yes!!

I believe faith definitely plays a role in ones success. Although it is part of the overall whole in the equation for success.
Nice article Lynne, short, sweet and to the point.

In today's day & age I do think faith does have it's part to play what with all the on line false promises and scams out there. One needs to have faith to keep up their pursuance of any goals they would like to achieve.

Just to let you know Lynne - I also shared it on my Facebook, as well as Tweeted on my Twitter.
I did not however add it to my blog announcements; in my mind I should ask your approval for that.

I think faith has everything to do with it and it is nice to see that there are people out there that still have faith when it comes to business.

Lynne, Again you post quality content which provides each of us room for thought. I must agree with you - Faith plays a Huge role in success. Many people drop out quickly which means they never had Faith in their service or product at all.
Thank you for sharing, this is great stuff.

Lynne, a different definition of faith is found in the Holy Bible which says "now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen". this definition leads us to reach higher and farther without having a need for concrete evidence first.
