I've read way too many books lately that say your thoughts become your reality sooooooo..............
GET THOSE HOPES UP AN BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!
When I hit 5 out of 6 numbers on Super Lotto I had told myself I needed to find another way to get money. LOL this was only my 3rd SL ticket (I didn't play the lottery) Anyway I never gave any thought about whether or not I could win.........

There's some truth to that in some circumstances. For example, how you do at a job interview will probably be influenced by how you think you'll do. I'll even consider that a few million people all thinking about an otherwise random occurrence might have some influence on the result if they're all in agreement about the result they're expecting. OTOH, no matter how positive *you* are that a lottery drawing will turn out a certain way the reality is that it will reman a random process over which you have absolutely zero control. The only way you can influence the result is if your negative thoughts prevent you from even buying a ticket, causing you to win nothing even if your usual numbers are drawn.

I personally find it hard to believe that thought can become reality. If someone goes too far it could become dangerous or end really bad. Like if I really wanted to fly and I psyched myself up enough that I actually believe I can fly and go up to the roof and jump off. And since I believe in it soooooooooooo much that death isn't a conern I'll just end up dying.
Or if I truely belief that I'll win the lottery I'll quit my job and start buying things I couldn't afford and pay for it later. I'll just end up in a huge debt and without a job. No one can be that stupid so therefore no one can truely believe in that a 100%. And without believing a 100% it won't happen.

There have been times when someone has been absolutely 100% certain that something would happen and something unexpected prevented it from happening. It could have been something completely out of the blue, but it did. That still doesn't negate the fact they were 100% sure.

Obviously it has to be within reason.
Start really observing people you know and/or people around you.
Look at the people who say life sucks, life isn't fair, they're unlucky etc and then take a good look at their lives.
Now take a good look at people who believe they can do anything, life is good etc and then look at their lifes.
Their lives are a reflection of what they believe.
If you REALLY believe in something opportunities to get it WILL come your way! DON'T expect it to just fall out of the sky into your lap. You still have to do your part! And don't forget to keep an open mind......
One of the books I read even went so far as to say if there's something you need to do and you get a sudden urge to do something else........GO do the something else! It could be an opportunity coming your way.
I can only say this......start believing and be observant! The more open you are the more you will see and more opportunities will come to you.

I don't think it's so much believing the drawing will turn out a certain way but believing that you CAN win and having the confidence to win.
It would go down more like this.......
Say I believe I'm gonna win MM. Maybe I get a sudden urge to run to the store and buy a ticket. Maybe I get an urge to come to LP and read up on systems and I see something I haven't seen before so I try something new. Maybe a number pops into my head and I just can't seem to get that number out of my head.
I think for everyone it would be different.......but if you truly believe in something things have a way of happening.
We all play the lottery to win! We all want to win! But NOT everyone truly believes they can win.

Time to weigh in on the positive thought of taking home the bacon. I bought the winning ticket tonight for the PB drawing tomorrow, and will be rewarded tomorrow night, say right around 8 PM, PST. Several/many people may share these positive thoughts but only one of us will cash in, and that will be me.
Thank your support.

There are winners every 31 days on average for the past few years. When I see how many winners there are, I think to myself that the odds of 175+million to 1 aren't so bad if there are winners almost every month. Then reality hits and the odds of 175 million to 1 seems pretty <snip> never impossible for ME to hit. It only happens to other people...Lol.
