My dear friends, if you did not win the $12M Toto, please don't feel sad or disappointed, because chances are you probably don't need that amount of money anyway. What you need is good health, a supportive network of friends, family members and the freedom to do what you wish, which are probably what you already have now.
$12M is a whopping sum of money which can last you a lifetime, but yet there are many things this sum of money can't buy. For example, money cannot make a seriously ill man become healthy again. Money can buy you the fastest car in the world, but if you get stuck in a jam, you will still have to wait. Money cannot reverse aging, no matter how many botox shots one can take, one will still look old someday. Money cannot buy love, cannot buy friendship or kinship, and even if it does, the love bought is not genuine or sincere. When you are at lowest point in life, you need support and encouragement and people give it to you because you have been
there for them, not because you have money.
there for them, not because you have money.
What we really need is where we should focus our time and energy on. Start building relationships with our loved ones through the acts of love we can give to them, even the most simplest form of asking them well and offering some encouragement to them if they need one. Start taking good care of your health by cultivating good lifestyles and eating well. I have seen many friends falling sick recently, so we should really take good care of our health, including our mental health.
When we can understand these principles, we will be contented and happy, it doesn't matter if we win the big prize or not, because we already have so much blessings.
Fyi, I did not buy a ticket :)
