I was raised religious for 19 years…
… but only recently found God.
My perspective 🧵
… but only recently found God.
My perspective 🧵
From a young age I was raised as a Roman Catholic.
Young and ignorant I felt this was a waste of time so I never fully indulged into the teaching and learnings around this religion.
No one else went to church every Sunday and I would have rather being playing Sunday league.

All I thought from a young age was how I shouldn’t be wasting time on religion while everyone else was growing up and enjoying life.
I hated it. I missed out on so much due to church I came to resent it.
No one else was around my age and I couldn’t wait to leave home.

Throughout all the ceremonies I never felt a sense of community and connection; just the feeling of “I can’t wait to get out of here”.
I always felt like I was forced into church so I never resonated.
When I left home for university I stopped going.

I never believed in God.
Why believe in something that was written by man? (Ignorance)
With the amount of deceit and lies in human history whose to say the bible wasn’t any different?
I forgot about religion and continued through university and living my life.

It happened when I joined twitter.
When I changed from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.
I began to question all my beliefs and keep an open mind on everything.
My understanding of this world, this universe, started to run so much deeper and this quote says it all.

The more I started to believe in something greater, something higher, something powerful… my life started to change.
As I allowed myself faith to a higher guardian with every decision I made something changed inside me.
A feeling of purpose.

I am not here by accident.

Something, somewhere, is watching over me and the more I believe in the higher power while trying to do the right thing with every decision I make; my life has improved in all aspects.

I walk with a higher power watching over me.
I walk knowing that as long as I try and do the right thing God will watch over me and support me in this game of life.
I don’t tie myself to religion. I’m eager to read all religious material.

The Bible, the Quran, whatever it may be; I want to read all religious texts to get a deeper sense and understanding of each religion and their beliefs.
It’s fascinating, it’s incredible. There are key parts that I have a high sense of interest in various parts of religion.

Stoicism has also played a big part. Being able to remove emotion and apply logic has been a huge game changer and I consider Stoicism a great philosophy.
Whether or not is a religion (I believe this is disputed) this philosophy has helped me connect to a great purpose.

There is something greater out there than all of us.
I am still very early in my journey of faith, but with my belief in God my life has received a purpose I have never had until now.
With God at my side, I will succeed in this game of life.

If you have any questions around faith, religion or understanding God my DMs are open.
