Wish lists for those buying lottery tickets often include expensive cars, lavish homes and paying off debts- but for some they are about helping loved ones, chasing a dream, or starting a foundation or a charity- all things that leave us full, not empty like material possessions so often do.
The difference between those who win and end up broke and spiritually broken in 7 years and those whose lives take off in a better direction seems to be about what they put the most value on. How much they think through what they are doing, how grounded and surrounded they are by the right people- and those who set a goal of helping others in a positive way often end up winning in every way someone can. When it’s just about the money, many end up wishing they had never won, and talk about their ruined lives, relationships and the tragedies that seemed to befall them once they became wealthy.
Someone reading this may end up being a big winner in one of these large jackpots. The odds are slim but it has to happen to someone. Now is always a good time to think about who and what you love, what your ideal life would be if money were not an issue- and how you could have a positive impact on others and leave behind something that mattered. Now that would be a life worth living and one that would attract the kind of friends and lovers that bring a wealth of happiness and satisfaction that money could never buy.
