Belief is just one principle of success. You can't succeed in life without first believing you can. Thing is, 'belief' is not the only factor you need to succeed. There are, according to Napoleon Hill, 17 principles that form the building block of Success.
In another book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Kiyosaki introduce a formula with belief in it. He call it the 'Be - Do - Have' formula. According to him, Be = Belief, Do = Action and Have = Reward. So yes...you need to believe before you can do before you can have.
Key question: How to cultivate the 'Belief' in you? Answers can be found in the word, 'Autosuggestion.'
Autosuggestion is a technique to 'trick' your mind into believing that what you want is tangible. You see, our mind is split into 2 groups, the sub-conscious and the conscious. For example, those who can't cycle will have to learn how to cycle using the conscious mind. However once you know how to cycle, your sub-conscious mind took over. You no longer pay attention with your movement...it becomes natural. (It's also true with habits)
Same thing happen here. You constantly play a mental picture in your mind the things that you want, over and over and over again and eventually, your sub-conscious mind will believe and make it happen.
If you have doubt about this technique, ask yourself, have you been thinking about the things that you don't want constantly and get it? That's the biggest reason why most people usually don't get what they want. They keep away from things they want and play in the mind about the things they don't want.
But if you can have a very clear mental picture of what you want and keep replaying it on your mind, you will find that the belief in you increase, your confidence increase and opportunities starts to present itself.
