Unless you've been hiding under a stone for the last couple of weeks, you'll have noticed that two 'lucky' ticket holders have won the largest prize in British lottery history. I hope it brings them all the happiness in the world.
Money will enable them to do many things they couldn't do before - I hope those things make them happier.
Money will allow them to buy things they could only have dreamed of - I hope those things make them happier.
Money is just energy; it flows in, flows out and will magnify whatever and whoever you are.
I hope the winners were already nice, happy, generous people and the money magnifies those qualities.
I don't know if I've mentioned this before but I am also a lottery winner. Of all the billions of people on the planet I married the only person I could ever imagine spending the rest of my life with. I also won the lottery with two kids who make me proud (and worry the living daylights out of me) every day. Then there was the other major lottery win when I made a career out of speaking for a living. It's a pleasure to do something I love so much for my job.
Looking at life (and without trying to be too syrupy) we've all won the lottery in one way or another. You woke up this morning and had food in your belly - you won. You'll go home and sleep in a warm bed tonight - you've won. If you're reading this - you've won. And if you are happy, you're the holder of a triple rollover, euro billion super jackpot-winning ticket! Congratulations! Now what will you do with your winnings? |
