I always win

I am not boasting here, but stating a frame of mind that I have had since I was a child, and it has served me well.  I was fortunate to have parents and grandparents who always told me I could achieve anything and as a result adopted that belief early, but it doesn’t matter when you start.  Anyone can change the way they think.

 

I remember being five or six years old and watching a kid’s program on T.V.  The hero was vanquishing all of the villains using a walking cane that had a lion’s head grip that shot darts.  I could see myself carrying that cane and liberating the good from the evil.  I never lacked for imagination, but most kids don’t.

 

At the commercial break the announcer said, “You can win the treasure chest of toys including the walking cane.  All you have to do is mail in your name and address to win.”  I believed him.  I thought all I had to do was mail in my address.  What did I know of contest, odds and such?  So I did.  And I won.

 

From that day forward I was convinced that whatever I wanted to win was mine.  As a teenager at a roller-skate-athon  I was raising money for MS and out of a hundred or more people entered into a raffle pulled my own name from the hat.  Not feeling that was fair, I dropped it back in and someone else drew my name.  Still feeling that I had somehow improved my odds unfairly, I threw it back in and asked someone else to draw and again, my name was pulled.  It wasn’t until I took my one ticket out and asked that they draw again that a different winner was pulled.

 

I don’t know what kind of odds that amounted to either, but it certainly reinforced my belief that I always win.  As a result I won’t play the lottery, because it somehow feels like I have an unfair advantage, and I don’t like the way that feels.  I got rich anyway without feeling bad about it.  In fact, I feel great about it because even though I always win in business, I strive for Win Win situations.

 

Maybe you have never won anything in your life, but it is only because you haven’t convinced yourself that you always win.  If a six year old can do it, so can you.  Every day tell yourself, “I always win!”  Feel it.  Expect it.  In no time you will be experiencing it.

 

I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/

 

I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
