    That you start doing things for yourself, accomplish them, this will lead to better and more productive development.

    This will also develop belief in yourself.

    Just simply believing in yourself is absolutely no good, it has to be substantiated by factual achievement.

    And I have met many people who have great believes of themselves, but nothing to back those believes, they become delusional.

    I believe in god, but I know god will not do things for me. I tend to think that as long as I apply what I mentioned above, god is looking after me.

    Honestly, I don't know what Believing in God does. I don't even know how someone CAN believe in God. I have gone to church, I have tried to understand but I just cant bring myself to believing that God is out there and he is making my life better somehow.

    Believing in yourself is the way to go, because it is more productive and you can always count on yourself.

    As both have been made by man I prefer the one I know to be real, that is ME.

    Why waste your whole life devoted to some thing which is merely a delusion?

    I believe in myself to do the best for me at all times. Even when times are tough I am the one who will fix it, not some made up, mythical creature.
