Lose the Lottery Mentality for Good

Has anyone else noticed the growing trend of people adopting the ?Lottery Mentality?? As an entrepreneur and network marketer I cannot help but notice a frightening shift in the way people think but its not just in business?it?s everywhere.

The lottery mentality is the desire for unearned success or as Liz Strauss describes it ?I Want Mine Gimme More?. We have allowed it to become so ingrained in our way of thinking we are constantly in want for more, more, more! We are a people of instant gratification. I want mine. Gimme More. You see the lottery mentality when?

* Someone says they are waiting for their breakthrough moment because they just know it will change their lives for the better and for all time. All I need is one great idea! * You watch television. These ?reality? shows and game shows are founded on the lottery principle. There is no talent or skill in being on the Price is Right OR better yet, in doing some of the phenomenally, disgusting and -stupid- tasks to be on a reality show like Fear Factor. I want mine, NOW! * Watching network marketing company presentations. ?I signed up 500 people in a matter of 2 months, I just received a 10K bonus and I have quit my J.O.B,? He says with light in his eyes and a grin big enough to qualify him for the Joker look alike contest. ?The best part is -anyone- can do it. Its easy!? [This one really hits close to home and makes me sick to my stomach considering my close proximity to network marketing companies and the industry] * You look at diets. To be fair, there most certainly are some individuals who have lost sheer amounts of weight and kept it off but its mostly because they maintain the practices of good health and exercise. Not as a result of using the latest and greatest diet plan promising anyone can flush the pounds away in a matter of weeks.

The list could go on and on? The Lottery Mentality and Lady Luck

Adopting this mindset places your hope in Lady Luck rather then good old fashioned planning and ingenuity. What happened to the days when we planned for our future?

Don?t get me wrong. I?m all for life changing events, especially when they bring a positive to the person?s life but I have yet to hear about a lottery winner who didn?t lose all their winnings AND the shirt off their back because they didn?t know how to handle the responsibility which comes with great wealth.

My point is, time is on our side. You might want untold riches, love or maybe you would be happy with a modest amount of fame but if you are not ready for these things to be present in your life, you will not know how to handle or maintain them. The danger in the lottery mentality is thinking that a small bit of luck is going to bring untold changes and happiness to your life.

Fame, Fortune and even Love can posses a jarring impact on one?s life.

Are you ready for impact?

When we understand this we discover the time spent is a blessing. After all, if we got everything we wanted with little or no effort we would not respect or appreciate it. Think about it, doesn?t it feel better to have earned the special something rather than having it suddenly thrust upon you?

To often the things we want are not in line with our passions, happiness and the lottery mentality mindset is a flashing red light indication.
