Happy Surprises: Unclaimed Money Means You Might Be Rich

The Dateline NBC show “You Might Be Rich” helps people find money they didn’t know they had, and you too can quickly search state databases to see if any of your money is lying unclaimed in a government coffer somewhere. How much unclaimed money are we talking about? Billions of dollars! To find out if any of that cash belongs to you, just click here to start your free search.

Be warned that there are many scam artists who might try to take advantage of this situation, so never pay a company or an individual any kind of finder’s fee to recover your own money.

Of course, it would be fantastic during this recession to suddenly find a huge amount of money that is all yours – good luck! But if your search comes up empty, I’d like to take a moment to remind you of ten other happy surprises that you have probably experienced at least once:

1. Getting unexpectedly good customer service.
2. Reaching into your pocket and finding money you didn’t know was there.
3. Receiving an unexpected compliment.
4. Drinking a surprisingly good cup of coffee.
5. Cautiously trying a new food and finding it delicious.
6. Seeing a baby do something for the first time.
7. Finishing a surprisingly good book or movie.
8. Hearing your favorite song for the first time.
9. Seeing something spectacular in nature.
10. Falling in love.

A core message of the spiritual Teachings is simply to enjoy our lives to the fullest.
