If thoughts and focused visualization actually shaped reality, the world would be full of lottery winners :)
The magic of this place are rules that are set in stone and apply to all of us equally and can not and will not bend under any circumstance.
The real law of attraction is that if you focus your intent and energy on things you want for yourself, you will recognize the chances in your life to get closer to them, as they would most often just slip by. It really is more of an internal process than something of a materialization.
The proposition that the thoughts shape reality is dangerous and a fallacy in my opinion, ask any gambler in random casino and they'll for sure tell you their visualizing techniques to influence the roulette ball.
