As we approach the new year, many of us begin to mentally compose our list of resolutions. Peoples Jewellers tagline, “Live with Love,” offers a beautiful and meaningful resolution we can all embrace. It calls us to let love guide us through the coming year, making love a core part of our daily lives and interactions.
This message was perfectly captured by Dionne Warwick in her iconic 1960s rendition of What the World Needs Now is Love. Its timeless lyrics remind us of the importance of love in the world:
“What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
It's the only thing that there's just too little of,
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some, but for everyone.”
- lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach
According to research, love plays a crucial role in our emotional well-being. It strengthens mental health, provides support, and nurtures a profound sense of belonging. Love encourages personal growth, resilience, and happiness while also inspiring kindness, compassion, and understanding. In this way, love creates a positive ripple effect, improving both our lives and the lives of others.
As we step into 2025, let’s make it our resolution to live with love whether it's showing love to family, friends, or even strangers. Let’s embrace this beautiful sentiment as Dionne so beautifully sang, “what the world (truly) needs now is love, sweet love.”
