2.Lost all the earning-opportunities, lost all my life's savings, had relationship breakups, the people I considered my well-wishers started avoiding me or went into silence [not that I asked them for help even once], the people who were supporting me in my financial crisis also got their earnings impacted, lost peace of my mind and lost my abilities to stay positive.
3.In fact I started losing cool at the slightest or no provocations – I fought with my most loved ones – AND MANAGED TO CREATE STRESS FOR EVERYONE AROUND ME.
4.I took help of astrologers, the healers, the spiritual gurus as well as few renowned God-men AND off-course continuous PRAYING TO GOD
5.AND - all I came out with – NOTHING – nothing changed, things became worse.
6.In fact the future-predictors – predicted that it will become worse and will remain so for next 7 years. I said wow – that is some life I have gotten into.
7.Then I decided that – THIS SH*T HAS GONE LONGER THAN I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN.
8.I also realized in my earlier painful times – I did use the strategy – channelizing my negative energies into creating and building something meaningful TO ME AT LEAST – I created two portals for Pro-Bono counseling [ http://relationshipandhappiness.com/ ] and Business Mentoring [https://successunlimited-mantra.com/].

12.So people ask me why you are doing this – when it is not earning you any money or adding any value.
13.My answer is – TO REMAIN SANE – even if no one watches it – IT IS ALRIGHT – same philosophy I write blogs – if someone reads it cool – if no one at least I have created something of value.
