0:00.0	Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.
0:09.7	Today I'm reading once again from Don't Sweat the Small Stuff every day, 365 simple ways to live a life you'd love.
0:19.0	And I just thought, this is a great page. This is a great passage. I'm delighted
0:24.4	to share this with my pod listeners because sometimes we think that only big things are the big
0:29.4	things. But I know that small things are big things. And when we look back, we realize that a lot of small things in our life
0:40.0	are the things that tended to matter the most, to our relationships, to our experiences,
0:45.6	to how we feel, to how we experience the world. This chapter is called simple pleasures,
0:53.2	and I love it, okay? This is like advice you don't hear very much.

1:06.2	The woman was telling Chris that she was furious and frustrated that her husband loved to go out to lunch

1:44.5	What is a simple pleasure that brings your loved one joy really worth?
1:50.4	To us, the answer has always been, it's worth a great deal.
1:56.9	There is something magical that happens when you stop insisting of being right and instead
2:01.9	soften your positions to accommodate those you love. I'm not suggesting that you always have to
2:07.1	bend or accommodate your loved ones' needs or that you should do so if the request is truly
2:12.7	unreasonable. Yet when you know something isn't that big of a deal and it makes someone else happy,
2:20.2	it might be better for your relationship to allow them to have their way.
