Megabucks Winner

My luckiest day…. This is unbelievable story about how I learned a true lesson in life. It happened on a Sunday in January 2007. I went into a convience store, you know the kind that have the video poker games in the back and did my usual weekly check of my lottery tickets. Well I had one ticket that said "check with retailer" usually a $4 or $12 winner. Well this one said something a little different. The clerk said: “I needed to take the ticket to lottery headquarters to claim my prize”. Just imagine my excitement. The clerk could not immediately tell me what I had won, so I drove back home to check the internet. On my drive home I dreamed of what it could mean, be out of debt and for the first time to be able to truly help my family and friends financially. I had hit 5 of the 6 numbers and the 6th number was off by only by 2 numbers. Wow so close, 2 numbers away from being a millionaire. It still meant over $2,600, which was worth the drive. But coming so close and missing the big win by 2 numbers, I think the jackpot was over 2 million so you could imagine my disappointment. I believe everything happens for a reason and it took me over a year to discover life’s real lesson for me. You see I know now I would have just blow that money, oh it would have been used for good things. Yet in the end it would never have meant anything and I would be broke today. You see I didn’t deserve it and hadn’t really earned it. So I don’t believe that was my luckiest day, that day happened this year. Thats when I started a quest to move forward with my life and be willing to change. That is when I got involve in a home based business that has not only change my health it has change my financial future. I no longer believe in luck, what I believe is that we are destined for greatness. Our greatness is not measured by what we have, it is measure by who we touch. You all have the potential to change our world and make it a better place. So my theme this year: Is to draw the line in 2009, living by convictions not compromise. Lets lead and encourage each on this quest.
