Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Do you ever think, I wonder if I'm getting bad advice?

Maybe it's intentional, maybe it's not intentional,

but I always love to look at, you know, when I'm the recipient of advice, I always like to look at two things.

I like to look at the results of the person who's giving the advice.

So for example, if someone's giving me marriage advice I would love it if they were in a long-term happy marriage, right? Or if someone solved a business problem, a business problem that maybe I'm having now,

if that person has done it successfully, then I want to listen. I want to pay attention to someone who's been where I am.

Advice can be so valuable. That's why it's so incredible to read books,

listen to podcast, take courses, etc. Because you're learning from other people's experiences,

which shortens your learning curve and brings you results faster. So I always love to look at the

quality of advice based on that person's results. And then secondly I always just like to

really feel that I'm receiving advice from someone who's high integrity.

And this is something that I believe our body knows.

My body feels different, it's like my nervous system responds differently to people, and a high integrity person to me just feels so safe to be around, I feel so comfortable, I feel so myself, I feel not judged, and I just feel in this kind of open expansive space within me.

If I feel like someone maybe isn't as a high integrity, I feel my body actually naturally recoil and want to move away.

So I always like to use my body as the thing that helps me interpret where to go, who to listen to, and who perhaps not.

But I've got a short story for you today,

it's one of Aesoph's fables.

Once again, I love coming back to this book written 2,500 years ago.

And this fable is called The Fox Who Had Lost His Tale.

So let me read this to you. A fox caught in a trap escaped with a loss of his brush.

Henceforth feeling like his, henceforth feeling his life a burden from the shame and ridicule to which he was exposed,
