LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
Yes. I am frustrated from the bottom of my entire existence. I started putting lottery tickets since January and I was focusing on getting in that state of mind where I was sure that I will eventually win, sooner or later. Fast forward 2 weeks ago I forgot to put the ticket (I was playing same numbers). That weekend my numbers went out. 5 out of 6. I just lost $50.000 prize. Guess when? Right when I am about to move in 2 months and ready to get a new car. Yep. I LOA'd a lot for 5 months, being sure that I will find a way to renovate my house and buy a new car and the universe laughted in my face because I dared to lose my focus and get depressive.
You have no idea how it was. It was so frustrated that... oh my... And my bf considered me crazy when I started playing at lottery. A ticket is not expensive at all, I spend like $10 per week (in my money) for it. He was the one who checked the numbers out of curiosity and discovered. He found it really hard to tell me what happened, lol :))). Now he encourages me to play again and move on.
From now, my dear girls, I declare LOA war for lottery tickets. After I did shake off the major part my frustration, I am ready to start a new chapter and try to win again. This time for real. Maybe the million prize... who knows. I am happy with 5 figures too, tho.
There are 2 problems tho:
1. I don't know if I should keep playing same numbers (Considering 5 out of 6 were picked, what are the odds to be picked again?). I guess I will put 2 tickets. One with the old numbers and one with new numbers (I need to find some way to use some numbers that I am confident will be a win in the future).
2. I can't focus my mind on this new journey. I keep being frustrated and I lose my mood because the memory of losing 50 grand is ... devastating.
So, who's in?? It almost worked for me. It must work for you too, girls!
Let's LOA hardcore, as IvyRose says ;D and come here and say "Yes, bitch!!! I won!!!".
Even it's just $50. Or, I keep fingers crossed for me and for you to post here: "Bitch I won the million!!! Bitch, now I can charge $19,99 per min and don;t give a fuck if I make money or not because I am fucking rich now!".
PS: I don't encourage starting to spend money in casinos, at poker, blackjack, roulette, online betting or any other gambling games! Nope! Only lottery! 1-2 tickets per week! That's it!!!

Re: LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
I forgot to add: In my case, LOA works a bit slower when it comes about work, maybe that's why I had ups and major downs when it comes about camming. But meanwhile, I was confident I will win some day at the lottery, without worries or wondering.
So, LOA sometimes doesn't work on all the areas even you think you practice them.
If you use LOA for more areas of life (health, money, love, whateva), some will come true and some won't. Don't let yourself discouraged, that if you fail in one area, it means LOA doesn't work at all and you suck.
Because you end up like me.

Re: LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
From google:
Consider that an average state lottery has jackpot odds of about 100,000,000 to 1 -- it's often even worse: The multi-state "Powerball" lottery has jackpot odds of about 185,000,000 to 1.
Students that take a "Math: Statistics" class are often asked to study this as a lesson assignment.

Re: LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
Cutie101 I'm so sorry! That sucks!! If that was me I'd pick new numbers. I too play the same numbers. I'm just waiting! But sometimes funds are low and I'm so worried if I skip it that will be the day. Or use the same numbers, but in a different game.

Re: LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
wow sorry!! always go with your instinct. almost never fails

Re: LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
So sorry to hear this hun, I noticed that you haven't been online today to get me through my shift, don't fall into depression and not work that is never a good idea.
Yes the situation sucks but that should just fire you up to work even harder to reach your goals without the lottery. You can do this as I always tell you :)

Re: LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
Omg giiirrrlllsss don't be so serious :)))) It is furstrating, yes, but I created this post to encourage you to practice Law of Atraction because seems to work even on big dreams...
Thanks for your nice words, tho! you are all very nice :))
MY purpose was to tell the story, so you know that LOA works, even you are going torugh hard time and never lose your focus and good thoughts because you end up being at a finger touch to your big dream and it literally dissapears :)).

Re: LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
I wish the LOA was never made aware of, I think I was luckier when I didn't know about it. I think I was happier too.
I find when I don't think about it at all, things start picking up.

I know that was super frustrating but at the same time AMAZING!!!!! Omg that would totally fuel my fire. You were so close but you still manifested it. If you manifested it once you can do it again and maybe even faster because you are on that vibration. Before I knew about the loa I manifested the perfect pregnancy. My pregnancy was a total shocker. I didn't find out until I was 10 and half weeks. I didn't plan on getting pregnant for years, so I was super sad at first and scared. Then I told myself this was supposed to happen and I'm going to make the best of it. I'm going to have the best pregnancy and my birth will not hurt. That's what happened. I had an amazing pregnacy and my birth didn't even hurt. I had minor pains. When I went into the hospital and they hooked me up to the machines. The machines spiked all the way to the top. The nurse was shocked. She was like, you don't feel that contraction??? /:O I was like what contraction??? She was like you should feel that, it's way up there. I felt nothing lol. I didn't start to feel anything until maybe 4 hours later and then it was still like a minor cramps.
I have manifested many things but when it comes to money, I seem to have some sort of block. I'm trying to break past this block that I have with money. I can manifest it if I'm going through something and I need it right away. When it comes to it overall, I guess I have a limiting belief that I need to get past.

I think that I can totally relate this as well. In the beginning when I found out about loa, I would try to be happy all the time and I begin to suppress my emotions. Then I became numb. So I got to point where I realized that I needed my emotions, I needed the contrast. Now I feel the emotions that I need to feel but I give myself a time limit. I'm more into reprograming my subconcious mind and clearing my chakras. I think I have way too much resistance to money and blocks that I need to break through.

Re: LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
^^ Yeah the trick with LOA is that you have to be in that state of mind when you are SURE that the things will go your way. Without a single doubt.
In my case, I was sure that someday and somehow I will have a winning ticket and at some point I was: "Pfff, those are small chances to win something, tho, otherwise those who teach us about LOA would have won a bazillion times at lottery if they were so good at it. What chances do I have?".
LOL.
You have gave me a nice thought about pregnancy. I've always been afraid of it :))). I'll start having better thoughts about it.

Nothing kills your vibe more than thinking every slightly unlucky thing that happens to you is "your fault" due to some mysterious force deciding that you weren't optimistic enough.

Yeah I totally agree about not having doubts. You have to ask for what you want, believe you can have it, wait to receive it with unwavering faith. My problem is sometimes I have too much attachment to the outcome. I'm waiting for it and looking for it like where is already? lol
Don't be afraid of pregnancy either. Being fearful of something seems to make it happen for sure or quicker in my experience. The thing that I'm most afraid of always happens to me. I'm not saying to suppress your emotions. You need the contrast. Our emotions are our guidance system. Use it as a guide feel it and move forward. Staying in a fearful place in my experience, has never helped. No one can be positive 24/7 of course. It's exhausting and unnecessary. I always give myself a time limit with fearful or negative emotions and then I move on.

Re: LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
^^ Being afraid of being afraid is another LOA dogma of annoyance. It's ridiculous to be fearful of your own thoughts, no wonder so many people have anxiety.
Being optimisitic and focusing on the positive are great things and I'm not saying we need to be miserable all the time either. I would say a better way of handling negative feelings is to have compassion for yourself for feeling them and then releasing them instead of blocking or denying. Acknowledging the entire spectrum of emotions is OK! You won't cause your life to go to shit just because you're afraid of spiders or you gossip about your weird neighbor. It's fine to feel it all. It's the art of not giving a fuck I guess.

Idk what to think because I've heard it both ways. I've heard ppl say that you manifest what you fear and I've heard them say your fears aren't relevant with LOA. If everything I feared immensely happened to me, I'd be dead haha. I suffer from bad anxiety I take meds for so I'm a mentally high strung individual. But maybe it doesn't happen to me because I'm more inclined to believe my fears are irrational thinking on my part. It's hard to say. This stuff is complicated since there's a lot of conflicting beliefs surrounding it. I do try to stay positive but it is a bit taxing and I think it's healthy to feel the entire spectrum of emotions. Choosing constant positivity is also holding things in because it's natural for us as humans to experience emotions. And in the long run, holding in negative emotions is far more unhealthy than letting them go from time to time.

I wasn't saying to not be fearful at all. On my previous post, I was talking about how it's good to have contrast and feel the emotions that we need to feel. I should have said to not focus on being fearful and staying in a fearful place. Because it's not about having negative thoughts at all. It's about our emotions and feelings. It's ok to have any emotion, it's our guide. Fear is an emotion we should move past.
Your life won't go to shit because you're afraid of spiders but you sure will attract more spiders to you if you stay in constant fear of them. I'm not talking about just being afraid of them when you see one. I have a cousin that lived in a brand new house and she was terrified of spiders. She had to kill at least 6 a day. I told her she has killed more spiders in one day than I seen all year long lol. The same with my friend who is afraid of caterpillars and butterflies. I can't even remember the last time I seen a caterpillar. Maybe like 10 years ago. She sees them everyday. Some even got in her house... How??? lol The same things happened to me when I had several fears of cats, dogs, bugs, heights, and other things. I had terrible anxiety, so I get what you're saying. I had to conquer my fears. I love cats and dogs now and I even owned a few in the past. Idk if this is the loa or just our brains are magnatized to notice things that are more in our awareness and bring it to us or what.

When I was younger, I had terrible anxiety as well. I was afraid of everything. Even just walking in a room for the first time with strangers gave me so much anxiety. My mom projected so much fear on to me and I took it to another level. I conquered each fear when I got grown and became less anxious. I think it's more about your belief system and your emotions. I wasn't saying don't feel fear at all or negative emotions. It's our guidance system. I was saying don't stay fearful. No one can be positive 24/7. It's exhausting. All that did was make me numb which is worse. Not feeling anything is a horrible feeling. I think the fact that you believe your fears are irrational is a strong belief that you have. Once I changed my beliefs about the things I was afraid of most, I stop encountering them all the time. This was way before I even knew anything about the loa. I just didn't want to feel fearful all time.

I had a similar upbringing but my nana was the person who instilled fear into me. She died recently, like two months ago. And I think it made things worse cause it's like well shit, doesn't matter how careful you are in life, we all end up in the same place. But yes, I do think it's important you experience these fearful emotions. Or any negative emotion. What helps me mostly I think is that I am a rational person deep down. And from what I understand, LOA is about your subconscious? Which is like the shit we don't even know we are thinking about. It's absolutely exhausting trying to control your thoughts and to put it simply, you just can't. I had a friend who tried it for a week. She has two kids and ended up having a breakdown by the 3rd day. I try using LOA by deep meditation usually if I really need something. And it works every time. Otherwise, I think it's perfectly okay and healthy to have emotionally vulnerable times. Happens to the best of us. I can just see how people would get uncomfortable thinking certain ways after discovering LOA. It's a double edged sword.

Yes, it can be a double edge sword for real. We should have emotionally vulnerable moments for sure. Some of my most emotional, sad, angry moments inspired me to be more creative. I wrote what I was feeling and it turned into something that was unexpected. I channeled my negative energy and released it instead of what I use to do which was afraid, nervous, and mad. The subconscious mind is very powerful and I still sometimes do things unconsciously that I want to change that I haven't. Sorry to hear about your Nana. My mom is so fearful it's funny. I decided to raise my daughter to be mindful of things not fearful. She was at one point a little fearless. She started being around my mom more and started to be afraid of things I used to be afraid of like thunderstorms... My mom totally instilled that fear in her. I had to break it. Being too careful will make a person have a terribly boring life. You would just be existing instead of living.

Welp, in a way, you didn't lose. You didn't lose that money you were going to spend, either, lol. Win Win!

Re: LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
Rather than seeing LOA as some mysterious supernatural thing with the power to BRING things into your life (whether good or bad), see it as a natural function of the brain. Studies have shown when we think positively it stimulates the release of serotonin and dopamine literally making us FEEL good. We act more co-cooperatively around others which elicits more favourable treatment in return, increases the feeling of bonding, and helps to decrease stress and mental anxiety. It can actually make you calmer, more altruistic, and more co-operative, all of which lead to greater relationships with others and better mental and physical health in the long term. When you feel positive, calmer, and more open to things, you are more likely to notice opportunities for growth, pay attention to yourself, and to the people around you. This creates a positive feedback loop - you are consciously AWARE OF and paying attention to the things happening around you, and more likely to give greater priority to the positive things such as someone paying you a compliment, an unexpectedly great day at work, a particularly deep and heartfelt conversation with a loved one, a happy family meal with everyone getting along etc. This makes you feel good and gives you a little dopamine hit every time you notice it (the brain's reward system), so you are literally TRAINING your brain to be aware of these things and to recognise when they happen. Once you're aware of this and recognise it in action, you can start to take steps to MAKE it happen more often.
The way some people describe LOA I can certainly see being problematic. It can seem like they're saying 'thoughts are things' in the sense that if you think good things, good things will happen, but if you think bad things, bad things will happen. Or it may seem overly 'fluffy' and completely dismissive of the darker emotions and experiences. It isn't really like that at all, and I really encourage anyone to look into it more deeply, especially if like me you're interested in how the brain works, how meditation and positive thinking works etc, as there are many connections. You don't need to give it a label like LOA if you don't want to, don't be bogged down by semantics.
@ Cutie I'm sorry for your losses eek. How about working on feeling prosperous in general? Do some visualisation of yourself over the moon because you have everything you need, say some affirmations every day, write a few lines every night about how grateful you are for the good fortune you have. You can combine this with extreme focus in a candle ritual (Green is a good colour to symbolise prosperity), and keep your eyes open for competitions you can enter as well as playing the lottery. This way you may very well find that money comes to you in all sorts of unexpected ways x

Well said sexysusie!
I embrace both LOA and the teachings of the Dalai Lama and they go really well together
Negative and hurtfull episodes come with life, it makes us grow stronger and can help us feel more compassion towards others.. It has nothing to do with practising a positive mindset though, or with failing to practise a positive mindset. It is just life. How we deal with it all is up to us all though. That is why I adore the Dalai Lama so much, his outlook on life really helps me to deal with those harder times

Re: LOA fail- The single time I didn't put a lottery ticket, my numbers were picked.
@sexysusie I'm totally with focusing on positivity and what you're describing is more along the lines of self-hypnosis which can work to a degree. We can choose thoughts and like any skill it gets better with practice. The most successful people are not bogged down with out of control brain chemicals and I would say the majority of people can somewhat hack the brain to be more receptive to certain positive neurological patterns.
Is mental illness chosen? Do people choose to become obese? Do we choose poverty? It seems so real when you are going through it. There are so many variables like diet, genetics and upbringing that come into the equation of emotions and how they are handled and perceived. In the most extreme cases I would say they need drugs to boost certain imbalances. I think of Aileen Wuornos, Charlize Theron played her in the movie, "Monster"...did Wuornos choose to be a serial killer or was she helpless to her rage and history of rape and being sexually abused by her father figures?
I agree with some of these positive thinking brain hacks however, I do think they can go too far and lose sight of being compassionate towards those with great misfortune. The Dalai Llama is truly divine, but does he live in the hustle and bustle of the average person in an urban environment? I think I'd be pretty happy and tranquil touring around first class talking about enlightenment too! What a beautiful life.
