If I Won The Lottery
“Too many people spend money they earned..to buy things they don't want..to impress people that they don't like.”
~Will Rogers
With my set of beliefs and who I see myself to be and want to be in no version would I ever win in lottery, because deep down I believe money is equal to value I create, and in lottery it's mostly luck and that is not something I find appealing to spend my time entertaining.
Despite that, let me share how I think that version of me would behave if such an opportunity was to ever arise.
So in this lottery the amount I am thinking of is a huge sum of money, let's take the scenario where I was to win the Powerball: $1.586 billion. 😂
To start of the amount of money is so huge at first I would not actually know what to do, my head would of course be full of ideas of how I think it would be best to spend it ending up in giving myself an anxiety attack along the way as I try to cover all my needs even imaginary one.
I would definitely end up spending the money on actually buying more things than I would never need. Subscription to consumerism for the thought that that would ultimately lead to happiness.🤦♂️
I would be definitely be arrogant to the less fortunate and continuously would ridicule their honest efforts in trying to make a living.
I don't think that version of me would have philanthropic qualities since it is free money and I am super afraid of it being all used up before satiating all my needs I would be definitely super selfish.
I would not even pursue my dreams, I definitely spend the money on things which seem to have meaning but rather they are just totally meaningless and they are all actions to prove to the society how much I have made it while the masses still struggle to figure it out. 😜
Ultimately this version of me would be the least mindful of all, there would be no need to be mindful since in my mind I have that which everyone strives everyday to have, nothing can go wrong and being mindful is for those whose lives are riddled with adversities, I cannot have any since I have money and I can basically to make way where there is no way, not for others to benefit but actually for personal and selfish gains.
Ultimately I would end up waking up one day and realizing that with all my poor choices I have not been conscious on spending the money, and it would greatly affect my belief on money, I would go back to that never ending loop of trying to win another lottery, lying to myself that this time round I would use the money more consciously but the probability of winning again without cheating the system is zero.
It would not be a life well lived.🤦♂️
I love how the creator of the first #bloggingchallenge brought this topic of winning so much money than one would actually need based purely not on one's creativity or efforts but rather on pure luck.
It gives me the chance to think and actually see who I could also be. An opportunity to think of myself in a world where in a way I have it all figured out.
It is a good initiative to actually think of it so as to not be blindsided by such a situation actually happening.
In this life for me the probability of that happening is close to zero if not zero....
