What is stopping it?🔗

One day a young man prays to God, 'God, please make me win the lottery!' He goes to sleep that night full of hope, but the next morning, nothing happens. Again, that night, he prays, 'God, please bless me to win the lottery.' Next morning, nothing happens.

Again that night, he prays, 'God, please let me win the lottery, I pray to you!' He cries bitterly.

Next morning, nothing happens.

This goes on for sixty years!

The man prays, prays and prays, but never wins the lottery.

Finally, one day, he is on his deathbed.

That day he really cries to God, asking God to appear before him.

So God appears and asks, 'My dear son, what do you want?'

The man says, 'God, I always asked you to help me win the lottery, but you never did it!'

God says, 'My son, I am always ready! But why didn't you buy a ticket even once?'

Listen: expansion is possible when you are ready to stretch yourself a little for it!

Many times, many times, you go on retaining your ignorance as a blockage, holding on to your ignorance and laziness, and continue to expect that miracles will happen in your life.

Expecting the other to stretch, without stretching yourself, is nothing but violence. Stretching yourself to the maximum and expecting the same from life is Authenticity.

• 1) Note down five situations in your life when you were very bitter about not getting something you wanted.
• 2) Now go back to those situations and honestly see in which of these situations you had NOT done your authentic best to make it happen.
• 3) Complete with that pattern of laziness and inauthenticity.
