Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Have you ever had that sobering, quiet, perhaps confusing thought, huh, I thought I wanted that. I thought I wanted that. I thought I wanted that,

meaning you're walking down a road that was very much your intention once upon a time,

but as you forge your head, you realize that the thing that you want, the thing

that you're chasing, the thing you desire, it just doesn't fit anymore. And it can even

provoke this sense of crisis within us. We think that there's something wrong with us.

We think if we lost our

ambition. We think, oh my gosh, what is going on over here? Am I being disloyal to myself? It can feel

like a crisis, but it is perhaps in fact perfect clarity. Think about this. The average person has, I think it's seven careers in a

lifetime, right? So working in seven different fields, seven different industries. Very rarely does

someone at 18 want to do the same thing at 30, 40, 50, 50, 60, 70. Desires do have a natural expiration date, I can say,

because they are building blocks. They are not permanent fixtures in our lives.

Just because something excited you once or made you feel alive and energized and just

aroused at once, once in your past, it doesn't mean that that is meant to last forever.

You see evolution in all parts of nature, in anyone you observe their career histories, anyone you find interesting,

they've often done a lot of things. And the dream that perhaps drove you in your 20s might feel

like, oh, it's suffocating you in your 30s or keeping you caged in your 40s. And that's okay. Sometimes our ego can rear up here and say, I have to follow

through. I have to arrive at this destination that I committed to once. Or maybe you're chasing the

thing because it looks really impressive on LinkedIn or all your mom friends have done it

or all your college friends think it's a really cool idea.

Hmm. If that's the case, all I can say is when you're quiet and you take five deep breaths,

does that thing that you want, the thing that you thought you wanted, does it feel like you now?
