It is

"Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into." - Wayne W. Dyer Kind of like sugar-coated candy, it is something we eat and get addicted to.

"Our journey into consciousness of wealth begins with the realization that we have already arrived!" - Michael Bernard Beckwith What I get from this quote is that you can vision it than you can achieve it.
