Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I was asked this question recently and I thought, oh, when those words came out of my mouth in the spur of the moment, I thought I have to do a pod about this.

Someone asked me recently on a panel if I could give some advice to maximize a new year what would it be? And the thing that came to my mind, I love it when this kind of thing happens,

because it's nothing prepared, it's not something that I repeat, but the thing that came to my mind

in that moment was this. Take more risks. Why are we so afraid of risk? I'm not saying take every

single penny that you have and put it, you know, go to Vegas and gamble, right?

I'm not saying do anything that could be career ending or would really upset you

emotionally to no end.

But what about asking for more? What about saying yes to the thing? What about

trying that thing that you've been intending to for a long time years in some cases?

I have to repeat this again and again to myself, to the people in

self-coaching society, to the people in my world who I deeply care about.

No one is making it out alive, okay? No one is making it out of planet Earth

alive. Death, as they say, has a 100% success rate. What are we so afraid of? Why does taking a risk

feel so dangerous? I would ask of you today to maybe think of a couple of times in your history

where you took a risk. And maybe that risk paid off the way you wanted it to, or maybe it simply didn't pay off, you regretted making that move.

Even in the case where you regretted taking the risk? Was there a gift? Was there a benefit to you? Is there something

with hindsight now that you feel even a small pride around because you let courage rule over fear and

you may have got an unwanted outcome but it was still something that led you on the path to something more.

When it comes to taking risks and evaluating risk and really even just observing and understanding risk.

I love to come back to this question, which,

I mean, if you followed by Potter for a while,
