Conventionally we understand Emunah to simply be faith that something will turn out a certain way. The Apter Rov explains that it can also be understood in light of the verse in the Megillah referring to Mordechai saying ויהי אומן את הדסה And he raised הדסה. The word אומן is similar to the word אמונה. He explains that this is because through the power of Emunah, you can bring something that is only potential into actuality.
Hashem has an infinite amount of good to give to each and every one of us. Our problem is that we don't truly believe that. We spend our lives in doubt as to whether or not we can be successful in all areas of our lives - the material and the spiritual. If we would truly believe that the good was out there waiting for us, and that all we need to do is take some steps and touch it, then we would find that good much sooner.
One way to accomplish this is by thinking os speaking to yourself about the good that is there for you. Say that it is there. Affirm that you have it. And through the power of Emunah to bring something into fruition it will be yours.
