   Jerry: Many people are hoping for some major financial windfall(意外的收穫) to come to them to free them from debt or to release them from working at something they don't want to work at in order to receive money. The thing I hear them say most often is that they want to win the lottery, where they'll get their abundance in exchange for someone else losing theirs.

   Abraham: If their expectation were in a place that would allow it, then that could be a way for money to come to them. But most know the odds against that, and so their expectation for winning the lottery is not in a powerful place either.

   Jerry: So, how does hoping to win relate to expecting to win?

   Abraham: You do not have to have money to attract money, but you cannot feel poor and attract money. The key is, you have to find ways of improving the way you feel from right where you stand before things can begin to change: By softening your attraction to the things that are going wrong, and by beginning to tell stories that lean more in the direction of what you want instead of in the direction of what you have got, your vibration will shift, your point of attraction will shift, and you will get different results. And in a short time, because of the different results you are then getting, you will then have beliefs or knowledge of abundance that will easily perpetuate(不朽) more of the same. People often say, "The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer," and that is why.

    Look for reasons to feel good. Identify what you want-- and hold your thoughts in a place that feels good.
