Summary

Have you ever wondered why some people achieve their dreams while others remain perpetually stuck at the starting line? The answer lies not in the choices we make, but in our commitment to those choices over time. Choices surround us daily – where to live, who to love, how to earn a living – but the transformative power comes when we progress beyond the initial decision into true commitment.

0:00.0	Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.
0:10.0	Let's talk today, my friends, about choices.
0:14.9	The reality is we are all doomed to make choices.
0:19.2	We have to.
0:19.7	We have to live somewhere.
0:22.2	We have to be with somebody if we want to have a marriage or a relationship or not, which is also a choice. We have people in
0:28.4	our lives who we surround ourselves with or we don't. We probably have to provide for ourselves

1:28.4	I'm going to start this business, or I'm going to start this side hustle, or I'm going to adopt this
1:32.5	new hobby, or I'm going to do X, Y, Z, right, whatever it is for you. And that's cool. It feels
1:39.0	empowering and fun and energizing to make a choice. But that, my friend, is not the same as a commitment. So just say today I
1:48.5	decided to start a side hustle in, I don't know, the fashion business. I could decide that today,
1:54.8	buy a URL, figure out some type of trademark, work on my initial launch. Yes, all those things could happen. But what
