While hope is the expectation we have around a certain situation, faith is rooted in our belief system.
Faith is our inner knowledge accumulated through experience. What we believe in strengthens our understanding of the world, how we fit in it and therefore how we act in it.
To have strong faith in something or someone is to be almost 100% sure they won’t disappoint you, that they have their best intentions for you and that they are aligned with the best version of life at the current moment. Having strong hope about something or someone, on the other hand, is to be 50% sure but choosing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Either way, the stronger our faith in ourselves, the more we are able to take risks and rely on the knowledge that we can bounce back from any situation (especially if that situation differs largely from our expectations).
