"La creencia se aferra, pero la fe deja ir."

Simplified Meaning:

Believing in something means holding onto an idea very tightly, while having faith means being able to let go and trust that things will work out. Imagine you're learning to ride a bike. Belief is like holding onto the handlebars so hard that you're scared to move. Faith is trusting that you can ride the bike without gripping so tight, and you start pedaling even if you're a bit nervous. In life, having faith means being open to new experiences and trusting in yourself and others, instead of being stuck on rigid beliefs. For example, if you want to achieve a goal, belief might make you stick to a single path even if it’s not working. Faith allows you to try different ways, take risks, or change plans, believing that you'll succeed eventually. Embracing faith can help you be less stressed and more adaptable, letting go of the fear of the unknown and trusting in the process.
