The possibility to WIN....

                                     Can you have happiness with a lottery ticket..?

It’s interesting how so many people went out of their way to buy a Powerball ticket on Saturday May 08, 2013. I had no idea the Powerball cash prize was so high. I was with a few friends and family members that day and listened to each one share their dreams and hopes of winning the Powerball and how winning would solve all their problems.

It’s rewarding to WIN large amounts of money and to be financially independent.  As we all know, bills and finances can bring stress and illness into a home.  Having money does make your life easier but not necessarily better.  I believe successful people are not essentially focused on the money itself but, become passionate about achieving certain milestones in their life and career.  Our ability to help others and truly appreciate life is really what makes us happy.  Money comes and goes, that’s why I believe in the saying “Enjoy it while you have it.”

Money is rewarded for your efforts.  The higher the sacrifices, the higher the paycheck.  Many people want a “doctor’s” salary but yet have no enthusiasm to get out of bed, work extra hours, get a proper education or take the time to find a job.  There are some people in this world that will only do things for financial gain or certain benefits and not because they truly care about someone.  I call these people “unhappy suckers.”

It was interesting to see people excited about that ONE possibility of winning and to feel their enthusiasm.  I wish people would have that same feeling of excitement every day with their own lives regardless of their financial situation; the simple joy of living and cherishing the present moment.  I’ve trained myself to always appreciate each day so that I can live a meaningful life regardless of what I have or don’t have.  I hope people realize how much they went out of their way to buy a Powerball ticket on Saturday and how they normally don’t go out of their way to workout, read, improve their lives, etc.  I encourage people to live each day with the same enthusiasm a Powerball ticket can bring into your life. Each day is a new opportunity to GO beyond your existing situation.

This is GOALYGO!
