Yesterday I saw a man lose hope.
An aquaintance habitually buys lottery tickets hoping to win big one day.
Lady luck has not favoured him since the last thirty odd years I have seen him buying lottery tickets.
Everytime the result is announced, he holds his breath in hot anticipation for one of life’s great surprises to come his way,
But his numbers are losers and the tickets turn out to be useless.
And so the man’s life remains the same…
He is repeatedly disappointed and the lottery seller, a veteran, gives him a “I’m so very sorry your life didn’t transform today” sort of a look.
It made me think about The Tale of 2 Mindsets.
The first and by far the most common is ‘The Lottery Mindset.’
It’s the default way of thinking of people resigned to being average. They believe that the only way to a life they love is to get lucky. To win the lottery,
To have fortune fall into their laps one sunny Friday morning.
The second and much more rare mindset is The ‘Mindset of Mastery.’
The people who run this mental story get that you don’t get lucky – You create lucky.
These ultra-performers know that success, prosperity and service to humanity isn’t an act of coincidence, but a clearly constructed result.
We all can achieve amazing things in our lives,
But sadly, most of us haven’t learned the strategies, tools, daily habits and tactics to rise to the personal greatness that is our truest nature.
You truly have been built to win and designed to wow.
You truly are meant to be happy, fit, grateful, passionate, excellent and influential.
You truly can achieve awesome things and make your mark on this big, brave and beautiful world we are blessed to find ourselves in.
But far too many among us are caught in The Lottery Mindset.
…giving away their power to luck versus strategy.
…hoping things will change versus knowing exactly what to do to make it all happen and then starting their process of mastery and success.
Please remember that life’s just too short to play small with your talents, gifts and purest potential.
Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.
Life is only traveled once, Today’s moment becomes tomorrow’s memory.
Make today the day you throw off all chains, release all excuses and make a decision that will change the game for you.
Develop a mindset of Mastery, create your own luck & stay blessed forever.
