  • If you won the lottery what would be the first 3 things you would change in your life

    When you've listed them... how important are they to you really?

    Would winning the lottery really improve your quality of life or would it just complicate all your relationships?

    What can you do to make your life happier now - even without winning?

    If you could choose anyone, who would be your ideal neighbours & why?

    Think of your best friend - what 3 things do you like most about them?

    Write it down - and then tell them as well. We all need a little encouragement and what goes around comes around....

    Reminds me of one of my favourite sayings.... "Smile at a stranger... it will worry them silly for hours!"
