Welcome to let it be easy with Susie Moore.

I want to let you know a little something that I realized a long time ago and it may seem obvious but to me it was a bit of a revelation

I was sitting around in a tapas bar with some co-workers of mine when I had a job and one woman who was part of the team

she was pretty much known by most of us as being quite negative right she's a She's the person who could find a problem for every

solution. She was quick to complain, quick to criticize, quick to condemn whatever the team were doing,

whatever the leadership were doing. And look, sometimes you have to speak up, right? You have to give feedback.

You have to use your voice and self-advocate. She was just doing it a lot, right?

And so as a result, negativity repels, right? And so as a result, negativity repels, right? So she was kind of less welcome in social

circles. Negativity, you know, energy is contagious, has an impact around us.

And I'd say, you know, lovingly,

she probably just wasn't the most welcome person

every single place that she went.

And one time we're sitting around having these appetizers having some

tequila and she described herself as a positive person. She's like look you know I am

positive but I have to highlight sometimes.

L. L. L. I almost stopped listening to what she was saying after that, because I was like,

wow, this woman is kind of, she's really known, she has this reputation for being

negative, and in her her mind she's positive. And it was a bit of a... Oh! People who are negative never know.

But they're negative, they never realize this.

It was a real dawning moment on me.

And I thought, wow, people who are negative don't realize they're negative.

And so they just think they're showing up in the world as realists as people who tell it
