Consider god or the universe, if you're not comfortable with god. The idea of a creator who creates a bunch of stuff and then just gives it away is quite extraordinary. The ultimate lottery winner of all time just gives their shit away, then sits back and lets other people enjoy all of their creation. Kinda weird, I'm not so sure.
Ever thought of life as a lottery? In this episode of 'Next Time I'll Try Knitting', JJ Chance spins a fresh perspective on sobriety and gratitude. JJ starts by challenging the notion that life is a lottery, suggesting that simply being alive and sober makes us all winners. He takes us on a journey from our caveman ancestors to our modern lives, highlighting how far we've come. Yet, he points out, many of us still feel unfulfilled, always wanting more.
JJ dives into why we often fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others and yearning for more material things. He brings up the idea of a creator or universe that generously gives away everything it creates, likening it to the ultimate lottery winner. While he questions if this is a smart move, he concludes that true wealth is about perspective and what we value.
He encourages listeners to take stock of their own lives—acknowledging the basics like being alive, sober, and having access to necessities—and find contentment in these simple truths. This episode is a thoughtful reflection on finding joy in what we already have rather than constantly chasing after more. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that might just change how you see your own life lottery.
