Truthfully, we can never seem to understand how things work out for us and most of the time, we simply do not understand why and how we could make decisions that put us in these situations in the first place.
The way to do this is close your eyes for a few moments. See yourself driving that car, living in that house, going out to dinner with your dream lover. See it in your mind first, and then take action. This is the true secret to achieving success.
