Have you ever wondered why so many people are attracted to game shows or the lottery?
Lets see
* fabulous wealth
* exciting prizes
* a better life
Id like to suggest there is something different at work in these get-rich-quick ideas that are heavily linked to our culture at large.
* the potential to be in the spotlight if only for a brief moment in time.
* the underlying hope that there might be a way out of a current job.
When lotto winners are asked what they will do with their winnings many of them will reply, Quite my job. This is typically followed by a chuckle that indicates their genuine dissatisfaction with their job.
Is it possible that one of the greatest motivators for game show participation and playing the lotto has to do with job dissatisfaction?
You may think this is a stretch, but if an individual is satisfied with their job they may be less inclined view their present situation in a negative light. Why? Because the life they want is the one they have. They have found a point of contentment and it shows in the way they view their occupation and life in general.
