The Lottery of Life




Have you ever felt like you were on the verge of something? It could be something great, or it may be even something you’re not looking forward to at all. But you have that feeling like something is going to happen. You try to anticipate what it might be, and the excitement just keeps building and building. Will I win the lottery, that’s got to be it! Lord knows I need it!!! Okay, reality check, I’m not going to win the lottery…so what can it be? Maybe it’s nothing but a sugar rush from that Butterfingers bar I ate, or the buzz of caffeine from the Red Bull I just chugged? I think it’s just called life. If we really stop and think about this life, there are millions of things to get excited about. Each sunset takes with it the things that made us either happy or sad and tucks them sweetly to bed. Sunrise promise’s a new day and a new beginning. Maybe we’ll make that big sale today. Maybe we’ll hit all green lights on our way to work. Or maybe we’ll hear someone tell us they love us? One thing is for certain, we don’t make it out of this life alive. We have to live life to the fullest from the cradle to the grave. If there is something you’ve always wanted to do…big or small, just do it!!! To buy a lottery ticket is no investment if you don’t win. But buying into your life, you can never lose. Our gravestones will be inscribed with the year we were born, and the year that we die. The most important thing is how we filled in the lines between the two!
