Get rich quick schemes
Have you ever been one of those people who keep their cellphones handy in order to sms to stand a chance to win this and that? Those gullible people who risk it all just to stand a chance to win it all? The 411 scammers know how to tap into people’s deepest wants. Apparently there’s a man in Australia who has lost his well earned money, risked all his life savings to release the millions promised to him by an unknown deceased “uncle”.
I found myself recently sms’ing, also being bitten by the “get rich quick scheme” bug. I never thought I’d be one of them. I was always the one telling my mom how she wastes money, airtime, post stamps etc entering these competitions. Telling her the odds are a million to one. I suppose her argument is what if she could be the ONE!
So I started thinking of the law of attraction. If you want it badly, you can have it. I want a weekend away, shopping spree, home makeover, wardrobe makeover etc. Come to think of it, I am focusing a lot on what I WANT rather than what I NEED. Then I realised I have been sufficiently blessed with so much, all my needs are met in abundance. Love, laughter, health, joy, waking up daily, being able to praise Him, support structures, work for my hands, food, warmth etc. I am grateful to have what I NEED, so what if I don’t have what I WANT?
