You are faced with a pack of bobcats that attempt to kill all that they find.
If you believe you are beneath them, your belief has made you the prey
If you believe you are equal to them, your belief has made you the rival
If you believe you are above them, your belief has made you the predator
If you believe you are one of them, your belief has made you new allies
If you believe you can lead them, your belief has made you a king
To make the most of the tool that is belief, you just need is back it up with knowledge that can perceive the situation, and a will strong enough to hold your belief steady.
That is chaos magic in a nutshell. Identify that all is chaos, unravel it with knowledge, weave it with will, enforce it through belief.
