Simplified Meaning:
Believing in something strongly is different from just being gullible or easily fooled. When someone's belief becomes very powerful, it goes beyond everyday doubts and negative talk around them. It's like a rocket breaking free from Earth’s gravity; the belief becomes unstoppable and free. Imagine someone who wants to become an artist but is constantly told it’s not a realistic career. If they have deep faith in their talent and dreams, they can overcome all the skepticism and negative opinions. They focus on their goals and work hard, eventually proving the doubters wrong. This kind of strong belief can help anyone stay committed to their dreams and ignore distractions or discouraging comments from others.
