"The Lottery"

Conquering Freedom

"Did you win the lottery?"

Recall a few weeks back there was a huge billionaire lottery, the largest in history. People from all over, different states played the powerball. Surely, I'm thinking a billionaire dollars can channnnnge the game so yeah I must play too... and guess what? I bought a ticket. 

 Immediately, after I played my numbers  I started running all of the scenarios of what GOOD I could produce in the world, in a world where GOOD is often overshadowed by the not so good.  Strange how this works. Seemingly, my thought was never about the money (everyone who knows me know I'm not about money) but the platform this stage could create to help people see more GOOD in the world.  Surely, I can use my sphere of influence and the lottery stage to capture the attention of people to inspire hope. Certainly, aside from paying off my school loan debt, everyone knows the lottery stage odds are thin yet someone always wins right. Here is hope. I knew for sure if I hoped hard enough I could take my tons of whirlwind ideas on starting this and starting into action. The only thing is the more I ran through what I would do, the more I realized there would always be something else. In hindsight winning the lottery really would not do much for my wholeheartness, my purpose, my mental, physical, spiritual or emotional well-being. This character building, wholehearted living is a work done through different life experiences, the people we meet and our own truth seeking journey if we accept it. Winning the lottery is a measure of worldly and material things but it will never measure  the person I am or the person you are in your heart or the impressions you leave on people.  This principle gets lost in our over connectedness to the wrong things even if it's a stage to display GOOD or change our lifestyle. 

 So what did I receive from this revelation? The answer is that beyond numbers Ive already won the lottery. We all are winners because  we get up everyday with the intent of making the best out of our lives despite the circumstances. Experience and ruin is your ticket to purpose and to transformation. The lottery is the adversity you face, the good and the bad because in the process your heart is constantly evolving. 

If you played the lottery, odds are you played to change your financial circumstances, you dreamed for a moment how your external life would be but start internally. The reality is most people who win the lottery know it is a long shot but they play for the thrill of hope, a spiritual, inernal, wholehearted concept we often overlook. So goodluck the next time you play but remember you already won. Just break me off a little something for my inspired words of wisdom.

 :)

Be well,

Vic

"It All About Attitude and Optimism"

Conquering Freedom "It's All About Attitude and OPTIMISM"        So...it's been a suppppper doooppperr long time (like 7 months) since the last time I blogged and let's just say I had a pissy poor attitude about a career transition which ended messy and unfair in my opinion.  So before I begin - what I will say is that this entry is the prelude to several entries which will tell a story and hopefully inspire a few people. Hopefully, encourage people to respond to life's circumstances more powerfully and know that nothing is by coincidence.  My  O PPORTUNITY in this transition has really been all about attitude,  P ERSPECTIVE,  T HOUGHTFULNESS, and an openness for greater aspirations beyond my wildest dreams with  I NTENTION, if only to surrender and let go of what is and what no longer serves me or in your case you.  The only problem is when you surrender to life, to your circumstances, and when you allow what is to...

"Emotional Dependence & Your Happiness"

Conquering Freedom "Emotional Dependence & Your Happiness" Recently, I've been reading Stephen Covey’s infamous 7 Habits of Highly Effective People...again :( A friend of mine recommended this years ago but I was unable to follow the main points...so I put it down.  Now, after several years and a ton more life experiences I get it and there is one main point I find fascinating.   The book speaks to independent, dependent and interdependent behaviors along with relationships and how these relationships with ourselves and with others impact our effectiveness. Effectiveness into purpose and my belief into universal vibration.  Our personal effectiveness, which drives our individual purpose is extraordinary.  In fact, everything we do, we do interchangeably, cross functionally, we do in teams, in pairs, we do collectively, we do together, we do as a community, in relationship and in fellowship with one another. Examples: we work jobs together, have families, ...

"You are awesome...seriously"

Conquering Freedom "You are awesome..seriously" Certainly, there are power in yours words and there is power in positive thinking.  What you speak, you manifest and what you manifest you actualize or realize. Everyone has the ability to be great, and awesome, in fact, I am sure everyone is great and awesome in their own way but the difference between those who "can be great" and those who know they are great is mindset. Your words, your compassion, your kindness and your character to people is a reflection of your conscious vibration, its your power and most importantly your awesomeness.  I had a great conversation with a friend a few weeks back who challenged me to change my mindset.  Live in the now moment, recognized that you are valuable.  It made me think about a friend who by the way I really miss who recommended this book: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.  Check it out.  Interesting how this circled back.  Look it doesn't matter what sc...
