How do you know you believe anything?
"...“belief” is not a good word to employ when doing science. Scientists do not “believe” in facts of nature and history; these facts just are. We no more “believe in evolution” than we “believe in gravity.” Evolution and gravity simply are facts of nature. They exist whether we believe in them or not." —Michael Shermer

Speaking of "believing in yourself," I've been reading G.K. Chesterton this week. He basically says that it's not believing in yourself that makes a man great; rather, most of the men in mental institutions believe in themselves quite well. Excelling at believing in yourself is more likely to drive you mad than to make you better at whatever you do.
I like this demotivational poster:
"Delusions: There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality."
