Quit your Whining about Winning

The WORST thing, ¿Really?, Well ! ~

Here is the thing, if you win any money and have won more than you put in, you are a winner. So do not be a whiner. “I have to pay taxes, it is not as much as it seems to be, I should have won a bigger amount”, bla, bla, bla bla BLAH.

There have been lottery winners saying that the prize they won was the worst thing that happened to them. That receiving their large lump sum of money or annual payments was not as good as it sounds.  A winner in New Jersey won two jackpots over five million dollars. Now it is all gone and they live in a trailer. Another wins 40 million spends it all and lives in a storage unit. Another is on their way to federal court because of expected tax evasion.

I am not unsympathetic to the problems of these individuals. I feel for them. My point is that the money they won is not the cause of their problems.

What is the cause of these problems? Not having a life in good order.

If you gamble, drink, eat, sleep too much or if your relations are in turmoil, take whatever steps necessary to clean them up. Because when you do win that big lump sum of cash you want to enjoy it and have that blissful life you have always dreamed.  For that matter, why not get your life in order before you win the big jackpot?  Be responsible for having a great life

The real secret to having your dream is to go to any length today to have that blissful life, and your winnings will magnify your happiness. Most importantly we want to hear your laughter and cheers, not your whining and tears.
