Why not? Like I said, ain't that what most magics are? Even the practical magic that I'm teachin' myself - do I need someone else to believe that I'm an amatur magician to make me one?
There is more nuance to the idea; you'll have to prove it to yourself, find out what the limits are but- Most of bein' a human being is motivation. What we feel like doin', becomin', what parts of ourselves we chose to build up and work at.

Maybe you only need to believe that you're strong to be strong. Like Magic - willing it into bein'.

And I think belief in yourself is a powerful thing, even for regular human type people.
