Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Okay, my friends, it's January 4th. Are you creating plans? Are you creating new routines? Are you still in your new year routine?

I've got a passage from Let It Be Easy to share with you today that I think

could be really helpful no matter where you are right now. It's chapter 11 and it's called

Ordinary Routines Create Extraordinary Results. It's just so hard to be enthusiastic all the time.

A friend texted me once. She was frustrated with her business growth and was so hard to be enthusiastic all the time, a friend texted me once. She was frustrated with

her business growth and was trying hard to raise another round of funding, meaning she's in constant

hustle mode. I had to laugh when I wrote her message as I was just about to head into yet

another podcast interview to promote my last book. My work is my biggest passion,

but it doesn't mean that I don't get tired sometimes too. I'd been on the circuit for weeks at

that point. I felt like I was on my 400th interview of the day, and I was tired of hearing myself

talk. People come to me to, people come to me for motivation

thinking I'm 100% enthusiastic and inspired all of the time. But I'm not. I simply replied to her,

have a break and get back to it tomorrow. Because here's what I know. Humans need breaks. We're worthy of

taking them without explanation or apology. And if you want to stay enthusiastically on track,

you must remember that all of the mundane, repetitive things that you do each day are

leading you somewhere. It's easy to forget

these two facts, especially the second. When we see just the daily to-do lists ahead of us,

it's hard to remember the bigger picture. It's like we're looking at the asphalt road and the

white lines, not the view ahead.

Pause and ask yourself, why do I start a business, a family, a project, a fill in the blank?

Because deep inside, you hold a beautiful vision for it.
