I don't think you can just say what you want and it will come true all the time, especially when it's a long term goal or dream. But I think talking about it helps you acknowledge it and prioritize it. Talking about it solidifies the dream, and talking about it means other people know about your goals and can extend opportunities to you when they see them. Talking about it means that it isn't just in your head, and you can have support from people because they know what you're going through. It means people that have been there know that you might need a mentor to guide you. You're on your own if your goals and dreams exist only in your head.
