Believe Quote by Miguel Angel Ruiz
“We don't need to invest all of our faith in every concept, in every symbol, in every opinion that forms the totality of our knowledge. Faith means to believe in something 100% without a doubt, and to doubt our own knowledge can seem like the most frightening thing that can happen to us.”

Faith should be balanced; absolute certainty in every idea is unrealistic, and questioning our knowledge can be unsettling.
In simple terms: Don't trust everything completely; doubt can be scary.
Allow room for doubt and flexibility.
