You Already Won the Lottery

Winning the lottery is easy because you have already won.  Has everybody won the lottery?  Yes!  How is that possible?

You’ve heard that the lottery is a “tax on the stupid”.  You’ve heard that you can’t win, the odds are so stacked against winning that you shouldn’t consider putting your money and hope into it.  I say spend your winnings because you have already won!

Big news today!  Two people won a big lottery! Yes, they did.  Does this mean you should be “investing” in the lottery, the Power Ball or whatever you have in your state?  It’s actually much easier than that.  What are the next winning numbers?  Do you know?  Can you guess?  Everyone wants to win the lottery but really, we also know that for most winners it really isn’t a win, it’s just an experience in having more money than sense for a short time.

Sure, play the Lottery and maybe you will win, but don’t set your hopes on it.  Instead, spend from the lottery you already won!

Every human is born with talents. Your talent is the winning lottery ticket you have in your hand.  You already won, you just need to learn how to spend it.  If this sounds silly, compare what you already know, your talent which comes easy, to what you would have to learn if you won the Power Ball.  You would have to learn, suddenly, how to protect, maintain, safe-keep, manage, and invest money that wasn’t yours to begin with.  Your talent comes easily and the good thing is that if you over-spend it you can keep the earnings coming!

Talented people win the lottery as many times as they choose.

Movie stars go broke and then make more movies to re-win the lottery.  Same thing with singers, CEOs and writers.  You have a talent, just as much as they do.  If you run a business and you go broke, start another.  Realize what your talent is and put it to use in the right way to produce.  If you consistently produce with your talent the rewards, the cash, will come in time and can last your whole life.

Just like a money lottery, talented lottery winners often don’t utilize the winnings, and so they suffer the loss of opportunity.

If you own or want to own a business, realize your talents, understand what they are.  Then realize the talents of your employees and suppliers, as well as your clients.  Put talent to work for you by focusing on your gifts, producing more results based on your talent, and then by doing good for everyone you will be richly rewarded.

If your talent is dealing with people then make sure your time is focused there first.  If it’s design, make sure you are always designing something.  Whether it’s mechanics, a passion for justice, treating patients… whatever it is make sure you spend your time with your talent and when hiring others, match their talents to yours by filling the gaps in areas you have no talent in.

Talent may be perceived as real talent, an ability above normal, or a passion above normal for almost anything.  This is why knowing your own passion is so important.

You’ve won!  Now enjoy a lifetime of talent-based success!
