Consider the following:
Belief is one of the main great powers that convert thought into action. It’s this very belief - or faith - in oneself (or lack thereof) that causes one to take certain actions.
In a sense, when we see people take actions, we’re seeing them prove what they truly believe in - and the same goes for them viewing us as well.
Perhaps it’s this force that guides people, perhaps it’s the aura that faith projects. In any case, we know for certain that holding a strong belief in oneself and one’s goals (ie conviction) absolutely influences their results in ways that can’t be directly measured, but for their end results.
Consider as well that lasting success is often created by those who understand how to create faith in others - not merely in sales, but faith in a brand, in a way of life.
Faith that if they work for this cause, they are serving a greater goal in their own lives - be it fulfillment of the ego, skill building for future monetary compensation, or something entirely unrelated (such as the wishes of their relatives)
Thus it stands to reason that true success in any project begins and ends with faith - its creation, and its destruction.
Furthermore, if one wishes to predict the future, one need only predict the faith of the masses based on the current position in the civilization cycle - what technology do they believe in, what do they fear, and what groups specifically transmute fear into excitement and belief.
For a real life example, we can look at crypto - the average person may be against it, but the adherents continue to buy Bitcoin, even when it crashes 75% - thus creating a self fulfilling prophecy and a self perpetuating instrument of faith indoctrination.
Their belief becomes the belief of others, which transmutes itself into realized action.
