Good point…I think the biggest challenge with “manifesting” a lottery win is believing that it is actually possible for you to win. Letting go can also be challenging.
I think most people believe that winning a huge lottery is a big deal; that alone creates a lot of resistance. If one thinks that, something is a big deal, than it is.
The common argument against winning a lottery seems to be that the odds are not on your side. That may be true, but what about the odds of becoming a millionaire through traditional means – i.e., hard work, having your own business, etc?
How many millionaires are in the U.S. today? I have not done actual calculations, but I suspect that the odds of becoming a millionaire by using traditional means of getting there are not that different from winning a lottery.
Yet, I believe, most people are more comfortable with the idea that they can become a millionaire in the U.S. with a lot of hard work.
Assuming my speculation is true, the real issue with winning a lottery, as with anything else we would like to achieve, seems to be our belief system.
