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. Apart from that, we, both, had different friend circle and our group discussion sessions were also conducted separately.

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
