Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Don't kid yourself, my friend. The future isn't better. If this is a message that you take,

and maybe you've listened to the podcast for a while,

it will be worth it just for this statement. Don't kid yourself. The future isn't better.

In fact, this moment right now, it's your life. It's happening now. This is it. This is it.

We have no idea our lifespan. Nobody does. Wouldn't that make you

want to just fall madly in love with a present moment and really get the most out of it?

Sometimes I look around and just say the house is a bit messy or maybe it's raining like it is

today in Miami or there's something that I've got to do that I'm not that excited about.

I think this moment is my life. This is it. Tomorrow isn't better. Next year isn't better.

When X, Y, Z happens, it's not better when I hit this goal. When I make up with that person,

when I, my hair grows to X length. No, it's now. This moment is your life. Look around. Pay attention

to your senses. What can you hear? What can you smell? What can you see? This is it. This is all

that is. All of your power is in the present moment. And we miss it. My friends, we miss our lives. We're thinking

about other people. We think that what we did yesterday matters. We're worrying about what

might happen in a week from now. We're berating ourselves for mistakes that we believe that we've

made. My friends, this moment is your life. And if there's anything

that I've observed over the happiest people over the years, it's that they're aware of this

on some level. They're not putting off their joy. They're not waiting for permission to feel

good. They're not waiting for approval or accolades or for somebody else to say, hey, you did a good job.

You deserve to feel good today.

It's not earned.
