The sunflowers are there. They lack only the conditions of sun, heat, rain and July. Just because we cannot see them does not mean that they do not exist. Sometimes, if you aren't sure about something, you have to just jump off the bridge and grow wings on your way down. There will be something solid for us to stand on or we will be taught to fly.
Some people use faith as a reason to remain stuck.
You don't have faith and wait. When you have faith, you move. Complacency actually shows lack of faith. When it's time to move in a new direction in order to progress, the right people will come to us. Whatever is his faith, so is he.
