After reading what TheColonel and LivingWarrior wrote, I think of this image:
I'm sure it's very common and I'm not the first to come up with it, but I just imagine it's like you're in a river, and the current is going to take you to a certain place, and you know where that place is, but if you don't swim, you'll just drown. You have faith you'll get to where you need to go just by doing the basic actions of being in that current. Maybe in real life you would end up drowing anyway, I'm just trying to come up with an analogy that makes sense in my own mind. I'll have to pull the tao out and look for some more.
