Love, Faith and Hope – What does it mean to me?

For a month and a half now, I have been asked this question almost every day. The reason why suddenly everyone is bothered about my belief in these words is my tattoo which consists of these three words.

These three words come together in Bible, urging us to pray to God with love faith and hope. For a better part of my life I have believed in each of these words as a mantra for successful life. Therefore, when I wanted to get inked, the three words or my mantra in life were the obvious choice.

However, I’d like to state what each word means to me.

Love – Because it is said that love is the greatest of all. To me, it means seek love in everything in this world. Love yourself; love the universe that has been presented to you. Love your God, faith and religion. Love your work, your karma. Love fellow human being. Speak with love, hear with love. Spread love, and when you do so you spread light.

Faith – Because faith makes us firm. Have faith in everything. Have faith in yourself and your God. Have faith in your deeds and others. Have faith in relationships, in your parents, partner and kids. Have faith in situation. Have faith in love.

Hope – Because hope makes us last. Have hope. Let your eyes shine with hope. Dream and hope. Hope for good. Hope for the best. When you love and faith does not work in your favor, hope. Continue to hope in the worst of circumstances. Continue to hope when you achieve the best. Hope to grow in love and in faith. As long as you hope, you live.
