Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

So get this.

A friend of mine forwarded me an article that I wrote in 2018.

And she was like, oh my God, I absolutely love this.

And I was like, wow, how did you find it?

And she was like, oh, I was just Googling some stuff because I want to take more control over

my future. And I was like, wow, love it. Don't we find and land on the content that we need

when we're searching the right way with the right energy? I say that I do most of the time.

But because this came up, I was like, oh, I'm going to share it on the pod today.

The article is called Four Ways to Take Control of Events, Most People Wine About,

written by me in 2018 for my no regrets greatest column okie dokey i'm going to skip

the intro and go straight to the points because here we are my friends right we're ready for it

the first is this you have complete control over whether you give someone the benefit of the doubt.

This is something that I've learned in recent years and it's made all the difference because our

ego is quick to say that person's wrong. I've been wronged. We're separate. This is serious.

But what if you flip the script for that momentarily, right? Think about it. Are you quick to criticize or call someone out before you know the full story? You know, and I share here, a friend of mine was being snappy and short with me at drinks recently. I don't think I remember this. She said she was tired and left early. What's her deal, I thought,

initially? I even mentally chastised her for wasting my Friday night fun. I'm not texting her

or calling her back for days I decided as punishment. The next afternoon, ah, okay, now I know it.

The next afternoon, ah, okay, now I know it. The next afternoon, as I walked,

the next afternoon, as I walked, as I walked out of a 7-Eleven, I had a voicemail.

I listened.

She was embarrassed.
