You can't think in terms of "what would I do?". You have to think in terms of "I am". "I am a lottery winner" is what you really need to think. I think therefore I am. "I am a great friend". "I am a smart person". "I am a lottery winner and I totally deserve to be!"

When you think in terms of "maybe" what you get is a coin toss. When you think in terms of "I already am" you refocus your life to a new belief system altogether.

It's like voodoo and hoodoo. If you believe you are under a curse, the curse works. If you don't believe...nothing can happen. The reason you shouldn't watch horror is because it does play on our fears. Fear is such a basic feeling that it can manifest huge horrors very quickly. It can also make you very unhealthy. Read "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay. She talks about how we keep ourselves poor and unhealthy by our own thinking. There are exercises in it to help you become a more positive (and thereby more prosperous and healthy!) person.

It's all a matter of will and determination. Try this mediation video:
