A door-to-door salesman may go for hours, days or weeks without making a sale. With every door he knocks, he knows that factually, it’s very unlikely for him to close a deal - perhaps less than 1%.
However, the best salespeople will knock, believing in their hearts that this customer will indeed benefit from and desire the product, and they will buy. So that salesperson walks and talks with confidence. It only takes a small percentage of customers to buy to justify the belief.
A woman of faith spends her whole life believing in miracles, and out of thousands of days lived, she only sees a miracle on one day. That is enough to justify the belief.
A man meditates every day for a year, and every day but one his mind is noisy. On that one exceptional day, he sees some glimpse of peace, seeing something that might transform him forever, that will surely justify a year of trying.
