You Can Do Anything You Put Your Mind To

My Dad used to always tell me that I could do anything I put my mind to. Be it moving to Toronto to chase my career goals, or going full time for the blog, he was always my biggest fan. He was the biggest hopeless romantic and I like to think in a lot of ways I am like him.

Traditions have become such an important part of my life as I’ve gotten older. Looking back on memories of my Dad, one that always comes to mind is him picking up his LOTTO MAX ticket every week. He would play one ticket with my Mom and another with his coworkers. As I grew up, I took on the tradition and still to this day buy my lottery tickets every week. There’s something in the beauty of it and how it feels like I’m continuing something now in Dad’s name. Who knows? Maybe that possible $70 Million jackpot is meant for me and my family! I know it’s a long shot and I probably have more of a chance at winning some cash if I go onto some new online casinos and gamble my way through. Still, it’s more the feeling attached to it than the prospect of winning that gets me to buy the ticket. And we might just get lucky someday!
