The move towards embracing one’s faith is supposed to be a life-changing experience. You and the people around you are likely to see changes in the way you speak, act, and think.  If you happen to have the right notion of what practicing one’s beliefs mean, then it is possible that all transformations are positive and beneficial. To determine if you are truly leading a faith-filled life, here are some of the changes that you should start seeing

You become more empathetic.

To live in faith can give you the strength to practice good virtues and say goodbye to bad habits. While this is indeed something to be proud of, it does not in any way make you self righteous. It should not encourage you to look down on others and feel superior. Instead, your newfound faith makes you more empathetic. You become more understanding than judgmental so instead of distancing yourself from those whose lifestyles are far from ideal, you start reaching out and being more kind.

You become easier to get along with.

Aside from empathy, the decision to practice your faith can bring in other positive traits that will make you a pleasure to be with. This is because you are likely to become more humble, generous, and patient. All these virtues can make you likely to forgive than seek revenge, give rather than receive, and stay quiet rather than brag. However, it is important to remember that being easy to deal with does not make you weak and gullible. Your choice to be the better man does not mean allowing others to take advantage of your kindness.

You start paying attention to taking good care of yourself.

Faith should make you see how wonderful life is and how blessed you are. This knowledge will likely encourage you to make the most of everything. You gain the motivation to set goals and chase your dreams. Likewise, you start to embrace self-care because you know it is necessary to serve others better. You also begin to understand that even if faith teaches us to be selfless, it should not mean depriving yourself the privilege to enjoy life. 

It is fulfilling to follow your faith because it can make life much more meaningful. Your reward for doing so is all the positive changes that you will experience by choosing to be faithful.
