"ایمان، واقعیت را ایجاد می‌کند."

Belief has the power to shape reality. It's that simple. When you genuinely believe in something, your mindset and actions align to make it real.

Think back to the early 1900s. The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were bicycle mechanics with a wild idea. They believed humans could fly. The world thought they were nuts. But guess what? Their unwavering belief and relentless tinkering led to the first successful powered flight in 1903. They didn’t just dream—they believed and made it happen. Without their belief, the fact of human flight might have been delayed for years.

Now, let me paint you a picture of this idea in action. Imagine you're a high school student who’s always struggled with math. You’re convinced you’re just not a “math person.” Tests and homework become dreaded chores. Your belief that you’re bad at math creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. You don’t study as hard, maybe you even avoid asking questions because you think it’s pointless. Your grades reflect this belief.

But now imagine a shift. A new teacher comes along and tells you a different story. They say everyone can get better at math with practice. You start to believe them, even just a little. You put in a bit more effort, you start seeing the logic in equations, and your grades begin to improve. Your belief in your ability to improve creates the actual fact of better performance.

Here’s some advice: start by recognizing the power of your beliefs. If you believe you can’t do something, ask yourself why. Challenge that belief. Try flipping it—believe you can, even if it’s just as an experiment. Notice how your actions change. Do you put in more effort? Do you approach the task differently?

For a relatable story, let’s talk about Sarah. She’s always wanted to run a marathon but believed she wasn’t a “runner.” She’d try jogging but give up after a mile, feeling defeated. One day, she joined a local running group. The group’s leader, who had once been in Sarah’s shoes, shared her story of training for her first marathon. Sarah’s belief began to shift. She started to see herself as a potential runner. She began training regularly, setting small goals and gradually increasing her distance. A year later, Sarah crossed the finish line of her first marathon. Her belief turned into reality.

Belief isn’t some magical thinking—it’s practical. It shapes our actions, our persistence, our approach to challenges. When you believe in your potential, you’re more likely to put in the effort and find the resources you need. So next time you’re doubting yourself, remember: belief can create the actual fact. It’s not about blind optimism; it’s about giving yourself the chance to turn a possibility into reality. And hey, if the Wright brothers could get us off the ground, who knows what you can do?
