You are right I dont need to win the lottery to do all that, but with having to go to work and trying to juggle all that and fit it into the schedule when im not working isnt really working for me. Also Im not going to lie I want to be rich right now. Like I said earlier I know that from my writing or even another way I will be rich but would like it to happen all at once and quick. I would say my personality is exactly opposite of ALG, I adapt well and welcome change especially if it is for something as huge as that would be.
Reread what you have said.

"I want to be rich right now."
"...I will be rich."

What's the underlying assumption in that statement?

"I am not rich right now."


You are approaching your manifestation from a vibration of lack and have-not rather than a vibration of abundance and prosperity. Whenever you think of winning the lottery, you tell yourself that your life is not abundant, and because you believe you do not have abundance in your life you do not give yourself permission to express your Purpose.

How pressed for time are you really? Can you not find the time to write one page, or even half a page a day? At the end of one year that's 182-365 pages, enough to make at least a small novel.

Here's an excerpt from John Grisham's Official Bio Page:
Quote:
Long before his name became synonymous with the modern legal thriller, he was working 60-70 hours a week at a small Southaven, Mississippi law practice, squeezing in time before going to the office and during courtroom recesses to work on his hobby—writing his first novel.
Today the man has 235 million books in print worldwide. His advice to aspiring writers? Just start with a page a day.

On the other hand, here's what 42 year old Lisa Arcand, the winner of a $1 million lottery jackpot had to say four years after she'd hit the jackpot:

Quote:
“Winning the lottery is not all it’s cracked up to be,” said Arcand, 42, a single mom and lifelong Lawrence resident. “Actually, it’s been very depressing.”

Today, less than four years after striking it rich on a scratch ticket, Arcand has decided to close her dream business — Fisherman’s Corner.

“I emptied my savings to get this place,” she said last month, standing behind the counter of the nearly empty eatery she opened just five months ago. “Now I’m behind on my bills.”
I'll let you decide which one is more successful.

You say you welcome change, yet you are waiting for change to come from outside of you, rather than starting to change from within. Stop looking for excuses NOT to live your life the way you intend it to and start looking for ways you CAN do it.
