How to make something happen

It is said the more you express something you want to do and achieve by saying it out loud and by sharing that idea to other people the more likely it is that you will make it happen.  You say you are going to do something. You are held accountable for that fact because by telling others and sharing it you feel you have to action it.  To stop yourself from losing face by not doing what you said you would do you have to make moves to make that thing happen.  Does that make sense?  Put simply.  Think it, speak it, do it.
