Did you hear about the
rancher who won $232.1 million in the lottery?
23-year-old Neal Wanless
bought his winning ticket on May 27th in the town of…no joke…Winner,
South Dakota. It’s one of the largest single winner jackpots in history. After taxes, Mr. Wanless
will take home a lump sum of $88.5 million.
When stories like this
come out, it gets people thinking. They can’t help but wonder what they’d do
with all those millions. But, here’s the real million dollar question:
How would you be
if you won the lottery?
To get my drift, go back
to something you’d do with the money. One common response is “pay off debt.”
That’s an action, a task, so what will that bring to your life? How will you be
when you no longer have debt? The feelings you’ll have and the ways you’d live
your life are what I call “essences.” Try making a list of what you’d do if you
won the lottery and then next to each action or task, write the corresponding
essence describing how you’ll feel and how you’ll live.
Now for the multi-million dollar question:
How can you start living
these essences right now?
Are you waiting until…?
Until you have more money, or until you lose weight, or until you get that
great job? There is more than one way to bring each of the essences you desire
into your life. You want to feel free? What’s something you can start doing
this week to bring more freedom into your life? You want to be more
adventurous? What can you do to create an adventure this summer? You want to
feel more confident? Joyful? Sexy? Creative? Embrace it now.
If you’re waiting until
you have more money, you’re putting your life on hold for something that isn’t
even capable (on its own) of manifesting what you truly desire. You don’t need
money to start bringing your desired essences to life. You need only to make a
decision and to allow yourself to start
living. Today. And, later when money is abundantly flowing your way, you’ll
already be who you want to be. The extra money will simply be icing on the
cake.
