Belief is a very powerful thing. In fact, it is the key to success. No matter how many scientific studies are conducted on this issue, they invariably affirm this law: Belief attracts confirmation. Belief has been known to influence the health of the physical body, so much so that it has often been said that a disease is 80% mental and only 20% physical. This has been termed as the Placebo effect. People have even survived deadly diseases with belief. They required physical treatments, but belief greatly increased the speed and even the possibility of recovery. The mental aspects of the disease, the emotional pain and anxiety, were completely cured, along with the negative physiological effects of these mental stressors. But belief doesnt just wield power over ones own body. When a person strongly believes in something, his subconscious mind will attract reasons to confirm the belief. He will begin to frame everything around him in a manner favorable to his belief. The subconscious mind is very powerful. It can process a lot of information, formulate plans and calculate the future. With its miraculous powers, it is able to create pathways by which the belief can be realized. Furthermore, it has been shown that our beliefs can also influence others behavior. People tend to fulfill, at least in their dealings with you, what you really expect of them. This is a scientific fact called the Pygmalion effect. Science today knows that beliefs are powerful enough to influence the minds and bodies of both ourselves and those around us. Thus, it is a scientific fact that when you truly believe in something, the extremely powerful subconscious minds of yourself and those around you are conspiring to confirm it. But what I claim here is something greater than this. The scientific fact that I just related is true, but it is only a specific instance of a much greater law, the law of attraction. According to this law, belief is a powerful force in its own right which attracts confirmation. It has its own force field that is exerting influence everywhere, and everything then conspires to fulfill the belief. This force is very strong and almost unstoppable. A person who wants great success must have belief as his foundation, since any doubt, which is nothing but a negative belief, can attract mediocrity or failure. When a positive belief system becomes integrated into our character, success becomes a habit.
