Drugs are not always necessary: This is a beautiful quote talking about the power of belief. This sometimes makes me question the placebo effect. It leads us to believe that the power of the mind is sometimes better than the medication itself. I’m not entirely sure if I believe in it objectively, but I admire the impact that the author is trying to make. If we are doing something, we’re better off believing in it completely. There’s no point in doing something half-hearted right? We either believe and move forward or do not do something. There’s no midway – we are responsible for both the things that we do or don’t!
Meaning of Drugs are not always necessary but belief is!
The central meaning of this quote is about a positive mindset and self-belief. When we are going through something, our doubts make us dwell on certain negative emotions that can harm our mindset. This in turn may have an effect on our recovery itself. I have seen some case studies exemplifying the positive effects of beliefs. In some cases, I’ve also seen people believing in miracles and experiencing them too.
However, it still doesn’t let me believe this quote entirely. A belief helps, I also subscribe to the fact that we should do anything with full awareness only. However, we can’t lie to ourselves or push ourselves to believe in something that we know to be untrue. Perhaps this is where we’d need to take this quote with a pinch of salt.
This quote closely aligns with – whether you think you can or not, you’re right by Henry Ford.
