£100m? That is the jackpot available for tonight’s eurolottery. It certainly is a lot of money, and when I heard about the draw tonight I shot off in to a daydream about what I would with all that money.And it’s a fantasy that can put you in to trance - I started to imagine how happy my friends and famy would be when I handed over all of that cash. I imagined myself buying my Aston Martin and driving in to work and putting my notice in. Soon I was constructing this entire fantasy world about what it would be like to be uber rich.
The funny thing is, I can’t remember ever creating such a rich fantasy based on becoming uber rich from my own success. Now surely THAT is a better use of my daydreaming time. Imagine that same scenario of uber richness, only this time it’s the result of your own achievements and POW! That feels great! When I do that it reinvigorates my enthusiasm to succeed and take responsibility for my own success which is a great feeling.
So perhaps I won’t buy that lottery ticket tonight. Instead I will spend some more time on that business plan I’ve been procrastinating over…
