Well folks, how are you all? Very often, I interact with the aging people and find out that they are filled with immense apprehension about their retirement age . Such as, what they would do after their retirement , how they would they spend their time, they are reluctant to go to their children’s places as they have their own lives. Apart from that they feel aloof in the new places and in new neighborhoods. There are several questions which cloud their minds and these multiply their tension. Well, they are right, up to a certain extent. After spending several years of a routine life , they are scared of not having any disciplined life as they would have abundance of time after their retirement . Their children wish them to be busy so that they don’t feel alienated and bored but what should they do? Let me share a real story with you all. Last week, I happened to visit my relative who lives in my city only. He is retired and has his wife, only son, his working daughter-in
Make Peace with Your Regrets!!! Dear Friends, How are you all? What’s new in your lives? Well, friends, a fortnight ago, during a week-long motivational session, I happened to meet a person who’s quiet, confident, and impressive persona, and this made him stand out in a crowd. We used to smile at each other from a distance daily, however, due to our busy schedule; we couldn’t get a chance to interact with each other.

Though I can’t give the entire account of our conversation he hated himself for not being w
Recently, I was having an interaction with one of my acquaintances who is quite opulent . In the middle of our talk, he said, 'I hate money '. This bewildered me entirely since despite having enormous wealth , he hardly ever shows any concern for the needy or the poor. Though I don't like to argue on any issue however I took my stand and I asked him why he detests money . He responded, 'Since he has to make lots of efforts in order to manage his wealth .' This annoyed me! So I kept quiet! Friends, I know that gentleman has an immense attachment with his money but he doesn't want to accept it publicly. Friends, this is a very common mindset. We all love and cherish money but still, we have a sort of hesitation in accepting this fact. The reason being is that we've been trained in such a way that money is the root of all the evils! And this sows a seed deep inside our heart that thinking about earning money is an evil thought and we must be corr
