It's not just about visualizing and affirming. You have to work to make your dreams happen. Find out what's necessary to achieve your goal, then create a plan. Write down the steps necessary to reach your goal, and do them, step by step. Whether you want to buy something, get a new career, earn a degree, meet a special someone, etc., you can't count on luck, and just wishing and believing it will happen isn't enough. You have to make it happen.
