Why did I choose Virgil's quote? And what does it mean exactly?
This: "cosmic outcomes are amenable to influence by emotional intensity."
It means that the intensity of your belief can and will shift the odds in your favor!
Henry Ford put it differently and more starkly: "Whether you think you can or not, you are 100% right."
For Henry Ford, self-belief does more than increase the odds of success. It determines whether you will succeed or fail.
Here's another secret I'd like to share with you, although not everybody will be ready psychologically to hear it: If you hang around with people who don't believe (and who always need to see tangible proof before they believe something -- which is kind of funny, because the definition of "belief" excludes the necessity for proof!), eventually you will also lose your beliefs and your capacity to believe in the magical.
Skeptical and cynical people don't realize that life itself is a miracle. Before they were born, there was nothingness. Then a big bang occurred (often as a result of one Tequila shot too many!). Their soul was born into the womb of an ecstatic mother, and a few months later, their physical body was delivered to this world. If that is not a miracle, I don't know what is!
Once we accept the fact that a human life IS a miracle in itself, it becomes fairly easy to believe that we can achieve anything.
In short, success requires belief + action. The bridge that leads a person to go from belief to action, is called Desire.
