I don't want to start it either. Suffice it to say, I don't believe in the Law of Attraction.
But there is a bit of a what I consider "new agey" vibe to this thread. "Think big and you can do it!" and "Big Dreams Mean Big Accomplishments!" and "if you really want it, you'll get there".
It sounds well and good, but it's just not true. You mentioned Jim Carrey and his positive thinking and "look where he is now!". Well, what about the 10 thousand other comics who were thinking positive and dreaming about million dollar movies and Playboy models? Why didn't it happen for them? Why are they selling vinyl flooring?
Because they weren't as funny as Jim Carrey. That's it. That's the only reason.
It's not wishful thinking, good vibrations or cosmic rays. It's talent.
As for the OP, I don't know the guy, and maybe he is special and can pull it off, but I gotta say that an unemployed guy wondering what he is going to do with his life is not a likely candidate to own a private jet within the next ten years. It doesn't matter how much he really really really wants it.
