We were driving on one of New York City’s highways when I saw a huge billboard announcing that the Megamillions had reached $124 million.
“How great!” I thought to myself. “I have to buy a ticket. I want to contribute my energy to this wave that is building up. I want to make my own contribution to the incredible gift that this money will be for someone.”
I recognized that this was a new way for me think about the lottery. The conversation in my head continued:
“I want to support someone’s dream in the same way that people support my dreams.”
“But wait!” screamed my ego. “What about me? What about me winning the lottery? Why can’t I win the lottery if I am putting all this energy into it?”
The wiser part of me – the part that felt so giving – replied with a smile:
“Maybe you will someday.”
