Dearest Darling Friends,

As I look back into my life, I find a few experiences where I admire myself.

What was special about those experiences?

In each one of those instances, I acted out of ‘desire to gain’ and not ‘fear of loss’.

I decided to leave a well established business in Chennai and moved to Pune to start an altogether new line of activity – ‘Mentoring’.

So many things have gone wrong. So what???

I was determined to succeed as I was not operating out of ‘fear of loss’ but out of ‘desire to gain’.

Did things go as per expectations? Not at all.

However, I was determined to learn. I learnt well and I learnt fast.

This was possible because I was not operating out of ‘fear of loss’ but out of ‘desire to gain’.

Did I have to give up on my comfort zone? Absolutely !!!

Was there fear? Not at all. Just resilience. For I was not operating out of ‘fear of loss’ but out of ‘desire to gain’.

Change has been constant in my life. I do not fear change. Why? Because I do not operate out of ‘fear of loss’ but out of ‘desire to gain’.

• I began my career in service.
• Then started a business in Textiles.
• Then started another one is electronics with my father.
• Then joined service in a corporate organisation.
• Then started my own business all alone in steel.
• Then moved into services again.
• Today I live as a professional trainer.

Every time I started something I eventually met with success. I changed not because I was not succeeding but I believed better success awaited me in the new line, in the new role.

I always acted out of ‘desire to gain’ and never out of ‘fear of loss’.

In relationships, in personal health, in family finances, in new ventures, in expansion of existing businesses, in taking BIG decisions, I believe, the person who is living with ‘desire to gain’ will more often than not, WIN !

Desire to gain energizes me, excites me, keeps me positive, makes me look forward to all the challenges and fun of life.

I may not win all the battles of life but I will LIVE LIFE.

Fear of loss robs me of energy, keeps me apprehensive and negative, makes me pray for a miracle that will solve everything.

It is scary and boring.

I may still win a few battles but i will not be able to ENJOY my victories for I will be afraid of the next emerging challenge.

Of what use such a victory?

Whats your default setting? Fear of loss? Desire for gain? How is it working out for you?

With love, prayers and best wishes,
