[00:00:07] Hello everyone and welcome to this episode of Saamya Shots. OK, so let me ask each of you a question and you have to be honest. Have you ever made a mistake you were afraid to admit to yourself or others?
[00:00:23] Have you been bold enough to acknowledge that you've made a mistake? And so let me tell you this story. This happened a few years ago. My friend and I were very excited about this exhibition and we had planned to make a day out of it.
[00:00:41] And so as we were walking through these stalls, my friend chanced upon a stall of handmade artisanal home decor products. And she liked this particular piece which was honestly loud and a little garish
[00:01:00] and I knew it wouldn't go with anything in her house because I knew how the decor of her home was. Now as a rule, I don't offer my opinion on anything unless I'm asked for it.
[00:01:12] But I think that day my expression and my reaction said it all loud for her to see, for her to feel. And so when she asked me for my opinion, I turned around and asked her whether she really wanted that piece.
[00:01:28] She obviously didn't like how I had reacted to it and so she insisted and she put her foot down and said that no, I love it and I'm going to buy it. So we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening going through the exhibition
[00:01:41] and enjoying all the food stalls and it was a perfectly good evening. A few days later she called me sounding absolutely distressed and agitated and asked me whether she knew of anyone who could take that piece that she had bought for her house.
[00:01:57] I was a little taken aback and I asked her, didn't you love it? So she said, I'll explain later but for now can you help me with this? Now luckily for her a few days later she did find someone who took that piece from her
[00:02:09] who apparently must have liked it more than she did and we decided to meet for a cup of coffee and she admitted to me that day that the moment she had bought that piece she knew she'd made a mistake. She didn't like that piece at all.
[00:02:26] It was an eyesore. It didn't go with anything in her home. It didn't match with the decor in her home. The people in her home didn't even like it but she stubbornly kept it there till she herself realized that it was a bit unpleasant
[00:02:42] and she told me, I'm sorry, I know I made a mistake. I smiled at her and I told her that's okay because I've made bigger mistakes. And so what is the takeaway from this story? It's okay to make mistakes.
[00:03:01] All of us are human and each one of us makes mistakes from time to time. It's important to rectify our mistakes and learn whatever it is here to teach us because till we learn to do that it will just keep occupying a lot of our mental space
[00:03:18] and this could apply to a whole list of things maybe clothes that we buy that we don't really like shoes and bags that we collect that we don't really need relationships that we may have outgrown and are sometimes toxic for us.
[00:03:34] It could even apply to a situation that you may have changed your mind on and it's perfectly okay because we as human beings we live and we learn every day and sometimes we evolve past certain things so it's okay to change your mind
[00:03:47] but what's important is for us to learn from that mistake to move on after we rectified our mistake and it's okay to tell someone that you've made a mistake. It's human. And so today I'd like to ask each one of you all a question
[00:04:08] What is the equivalent of that unpleasant peace in your life? What is it that you'd like to fix? What is it that you'd like to eliminate? What is that one mistake that you feel you've learnt from and would like to move on from?
[00:04:28] Remember the one thing that you should include in your lives and make a part of your daily routine as essential oils And so today we recommend a blend of bergamot, spearmint, frankincense and grapefruit to make you feel more empowered and help you make these changes
[00:04:47] as you fix your mistake And remember, mistakes are often portals of great discovery So until the next Samyashad, love and light everyone Stay calm, breathe easy Laugh more and love with all of your heart Bye for now
