Hi Cylon

I'm new on this forum - but I saw your post and I really related to it.

I passionately believe that through vision, belief and action you can achieve anything you want.

I couple of years ago I was living in a place I didn't want to be, with seemingly no way of affording the kind of house I wanted. But instead of focusing on the "hows" I started focusing on what I wanted.

In fact, I decided to go looking at the kind of houses I wanted on a regular basis even though there was no way I could afford them. This was a great, fun exercise - my mum (who lives with me) and I set off for the day and looked at 8-9 houses that were for sale in the area we wanted, and we really enjoyed ourselves!

Because I was focusing on what I wanted instead of how I was going to get it, the answer came to me out of the blue. I won't tell you how it happened because my circumstances are completely different to yours, so it wouldn't help you - but suffice to say my mother and I have been living in a lovely house just outside of Stratford-upon-Avon for the last 18 months.

If I had focused on how I was going to do it, I would still be where I was because I would have told myself it wasn't possible - and that is exactly what I would have created!

I hope this helps you - best of luck!

Ros
