Roland MerulloWhat difference makes what you believe? What happens will happen anyway, exactly the same, no matter what you believe. What you do makes the important part. What you do.
About This Quote
This quote is saying that the outcome of our actions has no bearing on our fate. Whatever we believe or do does not matter, but our actions are what are important. This is a very true statement, because so many people are so caught up in their beliefs that they forget to act upon them. Their actions are what count, not what they believe.
There are so many things in life that are based on belief rather than action, and yet the latter is far more beneficial. If you believe that something will happen, it will happen. If you believe that something will not happen, then it will not happen (unless the universe contradict your beliefs).
