You Press The Button and We Do The Rest.

The steps to success:
(1) Thoroughly make up your mind exactly what you want most right now.
(2) Be certain that your desire has in it the element of good for many. Then ask your own inmost soul for the most perfect idea, or ideas, relative to your desire, ideas that will produce good for many.
(3) Make a mental picture of your desire as fulfilled now, and now only, making the mental picture complete, vivid, alive with feeling. This is the meaning of Jesus' great statement to "ask believing that you (already) have." In the mental picture you actually do have (mentally, which is the realm of all true causation) your desire right now. Once you really get into the feeling that what you want already is yours (mentally) you will SOON realize how quickly it grows into actual form. Keep out of your mind all fear-habits of thought. Know that fear-habits can be readily changed into faith-habits. Fear and faith are the same, one being one end of the stick and the other the other end of the same stick. The fear end of the stick is a shovel and will surely dig the grave of success; the faith-end is a jeweled crown ready to adorn the head of any who will wear it.
(4) If necessary, compel yourself to implicitly believe that the same Power that give you your desire in the beginning will also give you the ways and means of its triumphant fulfillment.
(5) Meditate carefully at frequent intervals on the real purpose of your desire. This real purpose of the desire, or the thing, is the all-important spiritual prototype for the thing you want. Also go over the Lord's Prayer very carefully several times daily, it will help you much in meditating more profoundly, and will tune your mind in with the power (God).
(6) Every night before going to sleep, and every morning upon first awakening, make a solemn vow to live close to your God every conscious hour, to see only good in all, to entertain only good and constructive thoughts about everything and everyone.
(7) Frequently mentally see yourself already enjoying your fulfilled desire.
Do this every time you think of the desire; and especially at night and morning, just before sleeping and at once upon awakening, for at these periods the subconscious element of mind is especially amenable to suggestions. In this way you do already have your desire perfectly fulfilled (mentally); and if you persist in it you shall surely have it soon in its physical form right in the midst of your life.

“How To Live Life and Love It” by Genevieve Behrend.
MAKE your contact in thought and feeling and HOLD IT, with a happy, expectant attitude.
Emmet Fox called it building the "mental equivalent" of what you want. A term he derived from physics and chemistry. Practicing the Presence of God for Practical Purposes - Anderson and Whitehouse 2000     

"Father, I thank Thee for the conscious knowledge that all my good comes from Thee only, and that I no longer look to man as the source of my supply!"

Image Boards are kind of dicey. Both  Behrend and Goddard said to tell know one. What you want your friends may scoff at. Do they want you to move, can they see you in that car? Are they afraid of losing you? Also bear in mind where will you put it and who will see it. If you put things on the back that's hiding it.
THERE has been a lot of nonsense written and spoken about the Law of Attraction. People have been solemnly taught that all they need to do is to adopt a certain mental attitude, think thoughts of success and abundance, and then to sit and wait for abundance of all good things to drop from the skies at their feet. The folly of it is seen when we find that these teachers of "abundance" and "opulence" have themselves to work for a living, by teaching the very thing which, if true, would save them from all necessity of working.
