A man named Bobby Guffey from Indiana had been buying state lottery tickets since 1989. From then up until this past August, he had only won about $5,000 in all that time. He clearly had an intention to win, and his "how" was to use the exact same sequence of numbers that had personal meaning to him every time he bought a ticket.
Up to that point, the question, "So, how's that workin' for ya?" may have been met with a scowl from Mr. Guffey! However, one day last August, he forgot his glasses, and he accidentally let go of his "how" by entering one of the digits wrong while buying his ticket.
When he saw his "mistake" later, he went back and bought another ticket for his usual number.
The results? His usual number won him $1,000 that day. Not a bad haul. But the "wrong" ticket won him three million dollars!
Moral of the story: Let go. Trust. And get the "how" out of there!
If you know a story that also illustrates this point, please share it with my readers and me in the comments section. Thanks!
My best to you,
Susan
