"The reason believing something will work is so effective is because that it is human nature. You don't think that you might not be able to remember how to speak and so when you do speak you don't think about what you are saying, the same with everything that you do automatically, like driving perhaps. So if you believe you can do something difficult without thinking about it is more likely to be done."
MY STATEMENTS
Not exactly true.
Your neurons have to form relationships before you can accomplish any task "without thinking" / automatically
BUT, in my opinion, if children were given the proper building blocks (preferably the whole set) they would be able to accomplish any task after viewing the pattern a very select amount of times.
it's human nature to seek out what we require to develop further, instinctively we absorb what nourishes the whole physical system / mental system but we are prehistoric scavengers when it comes to hunting what we require to survive especially as children, the average parent has no idea what their child should be learning when, what learning curves take place at what times, or how the brain is forming and creating its neural-networks.
I find a lot of the time when I am able to accomplish great tasks automatically my analytical mind is busy with some tedious task and my creative functions serve me much greater, somewhat taking the mediator(my analytical mind) out of the equation gave me a maximized ability to react faster to the stimulus I was receiving, for example playing basketball, after awhile of shooting baskets my brain could calculate what was required of me to make a basket, but my analytical mind wanted to keep working and sorting new equations out, ... so I busied it with some math equations in essence splitting my mind in two, and with the one half of my mind I sunk basket after basket unless I broke the barrier between the two minds and then I would fumble or my shots wouldn't be as accurate and with the other half of my mind, I would run through the times tables, something that is also mechanical and entirely an unconscious activity but it was all that was necessary for me to stop over-analyzing every shot I took.
Controlled breathing is also an excellent way of accomplishing automatic tasks, although not sports as you will be using your lungs in other ways.. lol ;)
Aside from that stuff, I wanted to touch on your statement in the Subject line: Belief is Everything.
my response first and foremost is,
YOU: Belief is Everything
ME: Now that depends on what you believe in.
If you ask most people what they believe in, you'll get a surface answer, and by surface answer I mean, a pre-meditated answer based on what the individual has heard or knows to be an appropriate response to such a question.
Most people have never thought really hard about what they believe in, and with the very advertised houses of belief everywhere its hard to come up with your own un-doctored beliefs.
That's the problem these days, is people have stopped believing in themselves, they believe in all of this external information and external reality, thinking that it is the outside world that has made up the inside maps, yet unfortunately all we have to go on, is what we've been told since we were infants and the words of another human can be hypnotizing and can make you see things that aren't really there or better yet, make you not see things that really are there.
