So in the UK we have something called the National Lottery. It is like your Powerball but the wins are single to double and very occasional triple digit million wins. £7m, might roll over to £12m, goes all the way up to £170 odd mill. NOT TAXED, and you can choose between publicity and anon (why anyone chooses publicity I don't know).
Anyway along side this, they sell scratch cards.
Being overweight and having an issue with emotional eating I recently came up with the idea of...every time I feel like making myself feel better by snacking, I buy a scratch card instead.
I always choose #13 which is £250k win or #17 which is £100k win. #13 is £2 and #17 is £1.
All the money goes to both the Canadian Teachers Pension as well as charity. They build things needed by people in the UK for people who are not even in a lane.
So anyway I almost always win at these games. Because I am a winner... and I believe in the Universe to bestow me good stuff. Checkout lady actually says to me "feeling lucky?" and I just shrug and tell her I am a winner already. She rolls her eyes at me and smirks to her collegue.
I take my £2 and I buy a card. I scratch it right there in front of the checkout lady. BOOM, won £4. Give it to her to claim, buy 2 more.
Win £2 on each one. Ask for 2 more.
Win £10. Pocket £8, ask for one more.
Win £2.
At this point I call it quits.
And she can't believe it.
She is like "wtf?"
I just smile at her, and say "Life is what you make it, and you make what you believe", and walk off and enjoy my day.
This was not always the case. I used to buy these and lose £40 in a row. Not anymore.
All that changed? Daily meditation, which seems to be like plugging a Tesla into the mains..it gives me energy, or power, of some kind. And the belief that everything is for a reason, and the Universe combined with action on my part leads to anything I want.
MJ touched on this in his first book... The Flaw of Attraction. Think and Grow Rich. People read those and think if they just put it out there that they will get rich then it will happen. Then it doesn't and they leave a 1 star review on the book.... 10 years later people say it is BS. But they don't read properly.
This was a different result last week:
I say, in my mind, "Universe, I want to win on a scratchcard today" = thought
I drive somewhere completely random and buy the ticket = action.
I win = reaction.
TLDR: The power of action and thought = success.
