Three F’s But G, There is a Fourth
Gratitude The word gratitude is derived from the Latin root gratia meaning grace, graciousness, or gratefulness. Gratitude is a highly prized tenet in Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist teachings. I am defining gratitude as the experience of something positive gained, coupled with the realization that someone else was responsible for that gain. I strongly believe that gratitude and compassion can be cultivated.

The Power of Positivity: The Losada Ratio
Marcial Losada’s research led to the Losada Ratio which refers to the ratio of positive expressions to negative expressions. This ratio has been found to be highly predictive of success as judged by metrics such as profitability. A ratio between 3 to 6 has been shown to be beneficial (greater positivity is required to counter the weighted power of negativity).

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down, “happy.”
They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them, they didn’t understand life.

What Some of My Friends and Colleagues Said Happiness is …
• Being in the moment and being grateful. • Breaking bread with friends. • A choice. • Knowing you have been good to others. • When my nest is full. When my kids return home and are
asleep in their own beds. • No clinging, no grasping, no regrets, no anticipation, just
being in this moment as it is. • Being content with what you have. • Putting a smile on a stranger’s face every day. • Mommy, it’s when my heart feels bigger.

“The great and glorious masterpiece of man is to live with purpose.”
Michel de Montaigne

Defining Your Purpose Can Come by Reflecting on it or
By Virtue of a Key Moment in your Life
Great leaders often reflect on key events in their life or a single transformative or ‘magical’ moment. The moment can be jolting and starkly negative, yet it is momentous.
From it emerges a burning desire to have a laser-like focus and passion to make that dream a reality.

Experiencing Sorrow Has Its Own Reward
Most of us will experience sorrow. When you experience the abyss of sorrow and emerge stronger and with a clear purpose, you will have triumphed.

One Can Find A Purpose in the Most Horrific Circumstances
“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
Victor Frankl

Jim Collins
“The good-to-great leaders never wanted to become larger-than-life heroes. They never aspired to be put on a pedestal or become unreachable icons. They were seemingly ordinary people quietly producing extra-ordinary results.”

A Question Asked of Me at 13,960 Feet
Dr. Chuttani: Sanjiv, if you had to live your life all over again, what profession would you choose, what city and what country would you live in? Sanjiv: Without a doubt, Hepatology, Medicine, Teaching, Writing, in Boston at Beth Israel Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Chuttani: The air here is rarefied. May I ask you the question again when we are at sea level?

Who says this?
I should have said, “I love you,” more often. I should have had the courage to pursue my dreams and aspirations. I should have traveled more. I should have been the bigger person and said, “I am sorry.” I should have spent more time with my friends.

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain. Emily Dickinson

My Purpose in Life To fulfill my Dharma to teach Medicine, about Leadership and Happiness. To do it grounded in humility, and with an ardent desire to learn every single day. To express gratitude to my family, friends, colleagues, and students who inspire me in countless ways. And in some small measure inspire everyone I meet.

I invite you to reflect on what gives you the greatest joy and resonates for you. Take a few minutes now, or later, and reflect on Your Purpose and write it down. You may wish to share it with your closest family members and your closest friends. It is my fervent hope that you will find lasting happiness and it will light up every day of your life.
