Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Hello my friend.

Today I want to talk to you about the difference, the critical difference

between intention and action. Now sometimes when we have very clear intentions, we know what it is that we intend to do,

to create, what it is that we intend to, how we intend to be in the world. In our inner world it feels like a reality somehow already.

So for example, I always always always had the intention of being an author. When I was a kid, my form of escape, especially

with so much chaos in my younger years, was reading books. I love, love, loved reading books, taking my mind far away whenever I needed it and just the pleasure of words,

the pleasure of having an entire world in my hands every single day was it was everything to me it was

the biggest blessing of my life and then when I discovered self-help books oh my gosh did everything change

as a teenager I just got on the fast track to self-help and I've never looked back.

I share so much what I learn with you here on the podcast. So for me, the intention of being an author was always there inside of me it's almost like

I already was one somehow that's how I saw myself but I can tell you the intention of writing a book versus the action of writing a book

a very different right and intention gets you started but the action is where the generosity comes in.

The action is where the impact is made.

Good intentions, even good clear intentions, aren't enough. The question is, what action are you taking? Are you saying one day I will?

Maybe even in your mind say for example this came up with a

friend of mine recently she has a strained relationship in her life with a family

member and she said look you know I'm going to speak to my brother, it's going to happen. I've found peace already. I've made peace with what's happened in our past. And I said, great, how did he, how did he, how did he, you know, how was he when you spoke to him about this place that you've reached, this piece that you've arrived at in your life?

And she said, you know, well, haven't done it yet.

We haven't actually spoken yet, but in my heart I have the peace and you know I'm

eventually going to get around to calling him maybe we'll sit down we'll have like

some lunch and I'll just tell him that you know all's forgiven from my side and I hope
