We've all done it.
We've decided to win the lottery.
So we start out with great enthusiasm, buying tickets in all the games we can find, sitting eagerly in front of the television every Saturday night with pen in hand...
waiting for our numbers to drop out of the barrel.
Then, gradually - as we get nothing more than a free ticket from time to time - our dream of winning the lottery gradually fades.
The answer is to nourish and keep those dreams alive, and here's how to do it...
It's the simplest thing in the world.
Take a piece of paper and a pen.
Write down the wildest, craziest dreams of wealth you've ever had.

• Is it living in a massive mansion? Driving a fleet of European limousines?
• Powering a giant cigarette boat through the smooth waters of the Caribbean?
• Or helping your family out of difficulty?
• Donating to your local church to get them a new building? Saving a third world village from poverty by giving them water?
• Or all of these?

On your piece of paper, write down exactly what you want - but do it in emotional words.
Feel, touch, taste, and vividly imagine your goals in color and 3-D as you write.
Keep that sheet of paper and review your dreams after you wake up each morning.
It works.
I can tell you from delightful experience that your mind will bring you every one of the items you put on that sheet.
I have also achieved every goal I've set.
Here's specifically how I do it: First, I write my goal down just as I've told you.
I write a long, emotional and factual description, detailing everything I want it to be.
Then I put reminders of my goal everywhere.
- I have a picture of it as a screensaver on my computer screens.
- I have a scale model of it sitting on my desk.
- I searched for some pictures on the net and used them as a screensaver to look at daily.
- On the net I found an owner of one of my goals who appears to be less well-off than me.
(That's important because it makes the goal appear more achievable by seeing that others in a 'worse' position can do it).
Then I made the dream as real as possible using all the senses.
I watched several YouTube videos about my goal subject, and those videos helped make it real through sight and sound.
Are you starting to understand how a goal is set? Not by wishing fruitlessly - as we all do when we want a large sum of money.
That's like wishing for the Powerball jackpot each week.
But through real, tangible, as-if-it-were-already-mine kind of way.
Now, notice two things about this goal setting process that I haven't told you about...
1.
There is no deadline.
2.
There is no dollar amount.
That's intentional.
Because it's a weird fact of life about goal setting.
If you challenge the mind in a moderate way, it will respond.
But if your goals seem too big, too crazy, then the mind starts to react, to withdraw.
"Oh no," your subconscious mind says to you: "You can't possibly afford this.
You are not worthy of such a dream.
It simply won't work for you.
You are too short/fat/messy/poor/undisciplined.
" Your mind will tell you these negative things when you set the date and price in concrete.
You shouldn't.
That's because the mind is being challenged with reality - when at this early stage the goal should still be a dream.
So it's important NOT to put a date or price on your dream.
You need adjustment time.
This is the interesting part...
give it enough time, and the mind works out the "how" automatically for you, no matter how crazy your goals may be.
That time extension gives the mind free-range to establish its own boundaries.
I've followed these guidelines for practically everything I've owned.
And it is infallible.
Try it!
