Before I continue I'm just going to say that this is not aimed at any one faith, religion, or whatever. From my own experiences I feel there is some truth in all religions and faiths, but that is my path. These are my own thoughts and feelings and in no way represent an entire group of people. Your own path is probably very different from mine, but that is not why I am writing.
I am writing to share with you my own experiences with symbolism in faith and self-improvement. Now, whether you believe in God or gods, angels, animal totems, spirit guides, or just believe in something, symbolism can be a great way to instill a motivation within yourself to make things happen. You might ask how this works? Well, I'll give you an example.
