Over the past few years I've come to this revelation of sorts. To me it is a positive revelation.
Some may or may not have a hard time understanding this and when I first started posting here I stated things in an elusive way that had some really not understanding why I was posting the things I was posting. I much rather start off posting in extreme ways that get people's blood boiling so that when I make my point it makes more of an impact. Please understand this.
A part of being positive is living in gratitude for what is done for you, for what you recieve in life.
So many times people focus on what they do for others. Then wonder why they have bad luck or why they are the one who is always giving and not the ones recieving. The reason for this is because they are focusing on giving. Instead of this focus on what is done for you and feel that gratitude.
I grew up in a fundementalist church (no longer associated with them) and I can remember people giving testimonies of what God had done for them. However some would always turn it around to show how they had did this or that thing for another and have God as a minor player in the equation. Basically doing a self glory thing then turning around and wondering why it was always up to them to give. Because that is what they were focusing on.
Some people may say that they like helping others. Just remember that in order for you to help another they have to have some sort of problem. I would much prefer a world where I didn't have to help anyone. Where everyone had their ideal level of abundance. However my way of doing this is to now focus my thoughts on the gifts that I recieve in life. If I do a good thing to forget about it and go on focusing on what is done for me instead of what I have done for others.
Living your life in gratitude for what you are getting is more positive then trying to justify your life by what you have done for others. If you do things for others great..... but then just forget about the deed and move on to another if you choose.
In regards to the lottery..... people want luck then feel gratitude for every little thing that happens to you.
If you try to force a lottery win by saying that you will give to this person or that person or to this charity or that charity then you are not allowing things to be drawn to you. You are sending things to those people or charities. Which is fine if that is your intention. Just don't be upset when your brother-n-law wins the lottery instead of you lol.... and well charities get money everyday.... so focusing on a lottery win with dreams of giving to this or that charity serve no purpose other than to send recieving energies to those things instead of allowing it for yourself. If that is your intention fine. If you intention is to win the lottery then stop doing it.
In regards to winning the lottery keep your dreams positive and stick to your immeadiate family in your focus, in your talk, in your writings. After you win then you can scatter the money as you so please. But for purposes of creating your own luck or manifesting. It does no good to scatter your focus.
Remember you are not Atlas, If one person with either a few million dollars or a handfull of good intentions could slove all the problems of the world... Bono would have done it by now. lol
Be positive, live in complete gratitude, and good luck :)
BTW I have had minor windfalls (non lottery) and some very miraclous things happen using these principles.
