Events
are not as random as they would have you believe. You can think your way and bias your luck in
both positive and negative directions so you have no one else to blame. You are
solely responsible for your luck.
First of all, not everyone has the same chance,
so how can it be random? Just because
the roulette has stopped on red 5 times does not mean that it cannot stop
there for the sixth or more. They say that in the long run things even out but how
long is the long run? In the long run we
are dead so its the now that matters. Now we are alive and in that time lack is biased, and not
at all equal. You should then take steps to bias it your way.

When will I win the lottery? You might well ask.

A good thing you asked. It's the first step. The odds maybe long, but then someone has to win, and that someone might just as
well be you. Think about it; sleep on
it. Work on it so as to improve your odds. Some people are luckier than others. The
question is are they luckier because
they will it to be so, or are they born with an advantage? If it's a combination of the two, you still
have a chance. You can tilt things in your favour.
First of all, you have to buy the ticket. If you buy the ticket you might not win, but if you don't buy it you will certainly never win, so the answer is obvious.
When something happens to
you, that event is 100% not a probability any longer; it is reality. The probability wave collapses.
Recently my car was stolen. First time after owning a number of cars over many years. I had it stolen right in front of my
apartment, right in front of the concierge's lodge.
So what? nothing extraordinary, cars are stolen every day you might say, and you’d be right. Yes, but it always happens to someone else just like the lotto. The chances of it happening to me are pretty slim. People go through a life time without having their car stolen.

Now
what are the chances of it happening a second time? Even smaller! And what if
the second time is within a few months
of the first? This sounds like a freak probability wave. It shouldn't happen, the chances are
infinitesimal, possible but improbable.
Yet it happened!
No need to feel sorry about it, the insurance covered the cost. There's another way to look at it too. 'Just as luck could frown on me and pick me out of millions, it could just as easily smile on me and make me a winner. If lady luck is blind, she can just as well mix up her box of tricks.'

With my
new car I realised that it could happen again no matter how many times it
happened before, so I took steps to bias
things in my favour by getting a garage.
Not everyone can have his car stolen, less still, two cars within 8 months, so not everyone has the same chance. Now I'll just sit back and set my mind on winning. I know that it'll happen. I must create the right waves in my head that will put me right at the top of the list.

Why don’t you try it too? See who's first.
