Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Okay, I'm guilty of this, my friends.

Do you ever chime in, dare I say, interfere?

I always think to myself, am I really sticking my nose into something here that has nothing to do

with me and I have to check myself? Are you someone who likes to maybe offer aid or support or

simply just pay attention to what's going on with other people and see if maybe you can

offer something that's of use? My friends, I've got a fable for you today that can help and frankly

can give you your time and peace and energy back. It is called the dolphins, the whales and the

Spratt. The dolphins and whales waged a fierce warfare with each other.

When the battle was at its height, a Sprat lifted its head out of the waves and said that he would reconcile their differences if they would accept him as an umpire.

One of the dolphins replied, we would rather be destroyed in our battle with each other than admit any

interference from you in our affairs. I know it's tempting to jump in and fix things, especially

if it's with people that we love. I know somebody who's got two teenage daughters and they

have all sorts of typical teenage daughter struggles between them and she sits it out when she can. She's like, you know, they can work it out. They're bright girls. They know they love each other. They know this family is forever. And I don't need to essentially once again stick my nose in

and be the umpire and be someone who's saying this is right that's wrong let me let me chime in

let me offer something here I wonder if maybe say even two friends are arguing or two people that you

love do you need to mediate? Or can you just

love them both quietly? Trust that they'll figure it out. Trust that they are all whole and

resourceful and complete without you and don't need your interference. I've got to say, sometimes when more

and more people get involved in a perceived problem, it just amplifies the problem. It blows it up.

It makes it bigger. It makes it go on for longer. Before you're quick to step in and offer your

support, get involved in any capacity.
