While things aren’t that simple, obviously, there is something to the idea of focusing on the positive things that you want.

Vision boards are a good way to stay focused. Some people think they’re useless, but even if you aren’t into calling to the universe, it’s good to keep your goals in front of you. After all, it’s easy to get disheartened and lose interest in what we’re doing when we don’t see immediate results . . . but with a vision board, you can stay fixed on those long term goals and actually see what you’re aiming for, be it a house, car, or simply more time with your family.

You are going to work a lot harder at your goals if you are constantly reminded of them. Another advantage is that you can see your progress. For example, I did a vision board a long time back and forgot about it. The other day, I came across it and I’d met several of the goals on it without ever realizing! If I’d had it out, I would have seen that I was making great progress!
