If you’re getting this post, it’s already paid for. The only additional cost: a like! Just a tiny finger movement! One little like! Go on, you know you want to! Do it right now! Don’t let another word distract you! Because this post is going to make you very, very wealthy. Yes, it is! Don’t argue! Does that deserve a like? Of course it does! Light the heart! Ta. ❤️

Imagine you have half a million pounds/dollars/euros sitting in your bank account.

Right now. There it is in your bank account. If you opened up your banking app right now, you’d see it. Half a million. Don’t open it, because I need you to stay focused on my words. See it in your mind’s eye, though. Half a million. Comfortably in the black.

Breathe.

Through some wonderful stroke of luck, but for real, that half a million has been dropped into your bank account. There’s no mistake. It’s yours. You can spend it however you wish. You can save or invest it. You can give some of it away. But for now, it’s just there, settled like a cat on a pile of warm laundry, purring.

You can just let it sit there for a few days, while you have delicious thoughts about what you will do with it. Every now and then, you can open your app just to look at it. There it still is. It’s all yours. Bask in that warm feeling of joy and security flooding through your body.
