Love is the answer to almost all our issues. I

[00:00:07] Hello everyone and welcome to this episode of Saamya Shots. I think we all can agree that life gets a little more interesting when we try new things, isn't it?
[00:00:20] Whether it's adding a few new things to our daily routine or maybe changing the way that we've been doing things. And each one of us at the beginning of the year makes this list of things that we think we would be able to accomplish in the new year.
[00:00:36] It could be maybe exercising more regularly, eating a cleaner diet, maybe getting to bed on time. But what most of us almost always forget to do is include this absolute must in our list. And I'll tell you what it is but I'll first share this story.
[00:00:56] I think growing up each one of us has always had a teacher or a mentor that we hold really dearly to our hearts. And I was fortunate enough to have met this teacher in college.
[00:01:09] She was a guide, an inspirational figure, a mentor and a great friend when we needed one. Lectures were always very interesting. She would always conclude her lectures with a story or a parable or a quote.
[00:01:27] Always forcing us to think beyond our books and helping us expand our minds. And so this happened many, many years ago and after when all of us were really excited because we were all ready for our Christmas break
[00:01:45] and it was the last lecture of that season of that year. We were talking about what we'd be doing through the holidays and of course each one of us were discussing our new year's resolutions.
[00:01:57] Our professor smiled at us and told all of us that okay all of you all now need to make a list of things that you'll have always wanted to do and that you'll are sure you all will be able to accomplish through this year.
[00:02:12] And then we meet again in the new year, we'll discuss all of that. Now I was really, really excited. I spent the entire afternoon making this list and why just the afternoon?
[00:02:23] I think through the days I would keep adding a few things to the list and then deleting a few things which I thought I might not be able to accomplish.
[00:02:32] And so when college reopened we were all excited to meet each other again and we were talking about our new year's resolutions. That day at the end of our lecture our teacher asked us whether we had made our list, whether our list was ready.
[00:02:46] All of us were very excited and we said yeah of course we all have our list ready. She then told us to fold that paper and asked each one of us did you all include love in your list?
[00:03:04] All of us were confused because none of us had included love on our list. None of us had included love on our list. We had included a whole lot of things that we thought we'd be able to accomplish through the year.
[00:03:20] And then she looked at us and she smiled and she said it does not matter what you can or should do but what really matters is what you must do and that is love.
[00:03:32] And that for me was one of the most powerful messages that I had ever received. The truth is love is the solution to almost all of our so-called issues. When we learn to love ourselves we learn to love people even more.
[00:03:50] When we learn to love our choices we become more confident. When we love to learn our mistakes we end up learning and growing even more. So let's love ourselves, love our life, love our family, love our friends
[00:04:12] and learn to be more grateful for everything that we have in our lives. Learn to be as loving and kind not just to ourselves but to everyone that we meet. Now before we recommend the essential oils what I'd like to tell you all is make sure
[00:04:31] that you'll include essential oils into your daily routines. We can recommend a few essential oils for you. Lavender, bergamot, orange, cinnamon, clary sage, ilang ilang. You can add any one of these oils or you can make a blend of any two or three or more of these oils
[00:04:52] and add it to your diffuser, to your massage oils, to your char gels, to your shampoos, to your lotions. Get in touch with us, we'd be more than happy to curate a blend for you.
[00:05:05] You can write to us at samyafragesances.com or you can DM us on our Instagram page, Samya Essential Oils. And until the next Samya Shirt, love and light everyone. Stay calm, breathe easy, laugh more and love with all of your heart. Bye for now.
