I see this as a perfect explanation of the statement, “Faith without works is dead.” You build your belief by the experience of doing, which in your example is the research. A personal example is that I believed I could write and publish a book. Now that I have done it, I know that I can do it. I suffer from doubt in business development because I have not actually done it. I believe I can do it, but I don’t have any substantiation that I can. Until I truly act, I will sit in this quandary. Thanks for the thoughts.
