About This Quote
This is a great line from a poem by Emily Dickinson. The idea is that you have to have faith in your ability to see things. If you don’t have faith, you will never be able to understand how the world works. It is a very stoic idea, and it makes a lot of sense.
To believe more deeply means to have faith in yourself. Many times, we have to have faith in ourselves so we can complete tasks. For example, if you are going to build a house, you need to believe that you will not collapse on the job site while building it.
You need to believe that you can handle this task without getting sick or injuring yourself on accident. This is why belief plays such an important role in shaping our lives.
