Earl Nightingale The Secret is pretty good.

Make fun of it if you want, but as long as your realistic it's a great guide to thinking.

We become what we think about. This doesn't mean imagine you're a trillion are and Tuesday someone picks you up in a jet.

It's more like imagine you'll get that job, study for it, and maybe you'll get it. If not try again.

Even if you keep failing that's much more productive than whining all day.

To put it in HN terms, you can't open VS Code and expect software to write itself. I'm a self taught developer so I fully get it. Everything I know I taught myself ( the Unity forums helped a LOT in my early days, more than Stack Overflow).

That said, take the original work. Not the spin off that tells you The Secret can turn a homeless man into a millionaire. A homeless man getting his own place is pretty decent.
