You have to talk about what you want. You have to tell it like you want it to be. You cannot face reality as it is and have reality change in any way. You have to face the parts of reality that you love and fill in the gaps with things that you get from your imagination, or from your expectation.
So here you are, and you have a lot of good things in your life, which you accentuate, talk about, appreciate, and make lists of. You make lists of Positive Aspects, and you get on Rampages of Appreciation. You look for good wherever you see it, and you feel good as much as you can.
Then you have goals and you do not know how you are going to achieve them. So then you fill those in with imagination, visualization, and pretending, and then as you start doing that, you meet somebody who is really living that way. Or you will turn on the television and somebody will be talking just like you have been imagining. Or you will pick up a book or you will hear another interview …. In other words, the Universe will help you rendezvous with whatever the vibration is that you have finally achieved.
