This quote speaks to the power of belief in shaping our actions and attitudes. It suggests that our level of preparedness for any event or situation is directly linked to our belief in its occurrence. If we secretly harbor doubts about the likelihood of an event, then our preparations for it will be half-hearted, ineffective, or non-existent. This is because our minds, consciously or unconsciously, will not fully commit to the preparation process, thus undermining our readiness.

In essence, our beliefs create our reality. If we believe something will happen, we will do everything in our power to prepare for it, thus increasing our chances of success. But if we doubt its occurrence, our lack of belief will manifest in our lack of preparation, thus setting us up for failure.

In today’s world, this idea can be applied in various contexts. For instance, in the face of climate change, if we don’t truly believe in its devastating impacts, we won’t prepare adequately to mitigate them. This lack of belief and, consequently, lack of action, could lead to disastrous consequences.

Similarly, in personal development, if we don’t truly believe we can achieve a goal, we won’t put in the necessary effort to reach it. For example, if we secretly believe we can’t lose weight, we won’t stick to a healthy diet or exercise regularly. Our lack of belief will undermine our efforts, making it impossible for us to achieve our goal.

Therefore, this quote is a call to align our beliefs with our actions. It’s a reminder that our beliefs shape our reality, and if we want to be prepared for something, we must first truly believe in its occurrence.
