not for us serious entreprenuers!  For those of us who have been working so hard on building up a solid business plan, or for some phenomenal  moms like Leah who started a non-profit because of her son, would definitely know how to use it wisely.  Why? because people like that have goals in their lives. 

Winning lotto definitely cannot buy happiness but can help people to achieve goals. Look at Leah`s wish list if she wins the lotto - they are all pratical, solving part of the problem in life.

Isn`t it interesting, though. Self-starters, entrepreneurs, and people with ideas so rarely play the lotto. Yet those who want something for free, who believe in luck as the only solution, or simply are too passive to do anything other than tack on a lotto ticket when they buy something in a store--those are the ones who would win.

If you REALLY want a lot of money, then you`ll be totally focused on getting a lot of money! That`s the essence of the "Think and Grow Rich" book. So if you don`t have a lot of money, there can be only two reasons for it.

The first is that your life destiny is such that what you`re doing instead of having money is more important. The second is that you really aren`t that interested in a lot of money, but something else instead.

Man...so true...so totally true!!!

"Do you believe that One Thing will solve your life`s current problems?"

"No one thing is going to change anyone`s life" ~ Richardism

What problems? There are no problems ... just opportunities. I know, I know ... I don`t have three screaming kids hanging on me while trying to operate a business and/or (insert whatever here). Seriously ... problems are nothing but opportunities. I just cringe when I hear the word ... "problem."

Life IS change. If things didn`t change everyday, we`d all be bored. Change creates challenges and challenges create growth and growth is one reason we are here.

The weather changes everyday and we somehow manage to adapt. Life changes ... adapt to it. Make it what you want. Repeat ... WHAT YOU WANT.

I am Santa. You are Santa .... and you, and you, and you and you. Be Santa everyday. Never stop believing in Santa. Santa knows that anything is possible ... if you want it bad enough and you`re good and you do good and you give ... Santa makes it happen

Merry Christmas to all. I wish you all much success in 2007!

  • An opportunity is a set of circumstances that help move us toward a goal.
  • A problem is a set of circumstances that interfere with the access of a goal.
  • A challenge is an observation, part of a mental outlook.
People can call problems "not problems," or challenges, or opportunities, but that`s just fudging the language. If it works to change someone`s viewpoint, all well and good. But it concerns me when people try to redefine words to fit their subjective approach to life. I`d rather people change their opinions, belief systems, and illusions, but keep the words the way they`re supposed to be on an objective level.

I do understand the underlying idea here, of getting people to "rethink" their perceptions. I just think we`ve reached a point where deconstructionism is wiping out the actual meaning of words themselves. That can`t be good...! After all, if we want to play Scrabble together, we all have to using the same dictionary. :-)

Great question CraigL.  I think my one request would be good health for me and my family, especially my 2 boys (Logan age 2 and Dylan age 5).

Business wise I would request that my profits from each of my websites would increase by 10% everyday.

Hmmm, winning the lottery. That`d be nice. But I wouldn`t waste a lot of money on tickets. How about those guys that spend like $50 a week on them? If they took the $2600 a year and took their wife on a short vacation, or invested it properly they wouldn`t have to worry about winning. I saw a show about people who win the lottery and it seems like alot of them do drugs and stuff and end up miserable anyway.
