Crackpot To Jackpot And Back.

Submitted by: James Alexander

Scarborough, UK

3 God-given purposes have been granted unto me, family, music, and writing.

As a 43 year old father of 3 boys, the following actually happened.

Like many aspiring students in my 20s, I was anticipating a bright future and taking steps toward this goal. Physically I was running at a full marathon level, 10 and 1/2 stone. Intellectually I was studying for a BA Degree. Financially I was working part-time in a hotel in the hospitality sector. Spiritually I was attending church routinely and emotionally I was recovering from a broken relationship. As part of the studentship, I attended a Tony Robbins UPW Seminar and the Wealth Mastery Seminar. Also, I routinely listened to NLP/Hypnosis programs during this time. In 2006 UPW introduced me to The Secret.

Towards the end of my degree, over a period of several weeks, all sorts of unpredicted nonsense happened. I was feeling lonely, isolated, and victimized. There were several scenes within my shared student house that were actually nothing less than akin to attempted murder. Kettles were exploding, washing machines were sparking out, housemates were plotting against me, internet connections were breaking up in the middle of important applications and communications, and there was a lot of daily nonsense going on the whole time.

After a particularly severe physical assault, the local hospital assessed the damage and called for psychiatric help. To cut a long story short, after a month or so of denial and a bid for freedom, I was sectioned in psychiatry. This intense period lasted 6 months. However, the NLP and studying continued. Choosing to learn guitar, harmonica, and Spanish, my time on the wards was filled.

Since attending the Robbins seminar I chose to write and do music. Over a 5-year period, 6 published books were made available on the market and 3 went through a second edition.

Also, I prayed for a family of my own and for future generations to live long, healthy, happy, abundantly. It was in 2008 while living independently once again that a certain young lady and I literally bumped into each other in town. Our path forthwith involved a miraculous share of the European People’s Postcode Lottery which was £71,427! A marriage, the birth of three boys, twins now 12 years old and the other boy aged 10 years. We rented a lovely home with a garden. We bought a family car, a Vauxhall Zafira, and helped various family members and charitable causes.

Incidentally, when running a lot earlier, I raised £1,000 for Special Needs Children, £500 for Leukaemia Research, donated £500 to the London 2012 Team GB, and musically participated in numerous public events on piano. I have done Several charitable concerts including MIND £800, Yorkshire Air Ambulance £220, Local Soup Kitchen £70, and Other Mental Health £650.

During our marriage, our relationship was equated with challenges. Actually, we separated 5 years ago. Amicably. Today I have a lovely rented home in which my sons are more than comfortable when on ‘Dad time’! Miracles happen financially all the time.

Once I needed £100 to produce 10 copies of my book. A friend from church came to visit. He said to leave it with him and left the house. One hour later he returned saying ‘I don’t normally play scratch cards but God told me to!’ His card had a £100 win on and he gave me the card to keep! Amen!

Since separating, both of us have entered new relationships. My fiancee is so special, so beautiful inside and out, and the world’s best chef!

Consistently since taking the Robbins UPW Seminars I have been anticipating £50,000 GBP Cr, £250,000 GBP Cr, and £7, 400 000 GBP Cr. I am staying focused! The Angels just last week spoke to me granting me £250,000 GBP Cr. I am just waiting to collect the credit into my bank account!

In reality, the Jackpot came in 2010 with the £71,427 win! So from crackpot to jackpot and back again, thus this story is written.

Peace, love, and God bless you!
