I heard this phrase last night and it is true. Most of the really difficult things that have been accomplished have been accomplished by people with a strong belief in what they were doing. For good or ill, belief matters.
An illustration: a doctor friend was working in the ER when the owner of a nearby bar came in complaining of heartburn. He just wanted something to fix it. My friend ran some tests and wanted him to be admitted to the hospital. The man just kept resisting, sure that he just had heartburn. Finally, the doctor said to him, "Look, you're having a heart attack!" With that, the man dropped dead on the floor. The power of belief! Of course he was revived and later was fine.
Columbus believed that the earth was round. Martin Luther King believed that all men are created equal. Winston Churchill believed England could win the war. Each prevailed because they believed. What belief do you have that is strong enough to overcome all?
