If you can visualize something and believe it will happen, will it make it happen.

Yes and no. Believing does help to create something in the future. However, so many things are outside of our control, that to provide a blanket claim would be foolish.

To some degree. There is something called a placebo effect in psychology. A placebo is a fake, so when two different groups of people get either a pain medication or a placebo (sugar pill). Group A gets the pain medication, and their pain goes away. Group B gets the pain medication, and, a little less than group A, has the pain go away. Why? Because people simply believing it would help them helped. Now it doesn't work as well as the actual pill, but it does work. And it works in all kinds of situations, not just medications. So, yes, it works, to a degree.
