Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I saw something beautiful in London and I want to share it with you.

Heath and I were walking down the street and I saw a fire station, right?

So you see fire stations in every single city, right?

They're pretty common.

There's nothing necessarily remarkable

or stand out about them.

But there was a statement written outside of the big red doors in paint with an image like a stick image of someone running. And the statement was this,

love is the running towards.

That really moved me. Love is the running towards. These people who work at the fire station, these firefighters, they run towards the fire.

This goes against every single human instinct we have. We run away from problems. We run away from pain. We run away from risk. We run away from harm. We run away from harm. We run away from things that can hurt us.

But this fire station, just like any other fire station,

highlighted why they do what they do. Love is the running towards. I actually stopped. I said to Heath, I was like, read that. He was like, yeah, that's really beautiful. And I was like, this is true for a fire station. It's also true of life.

Think about it. Are you the person who runs away from the problem runs away from the relationship,

runs away from a hard conversation, runs away from the friendship, runs away from the mess?

Or are you someone who can love enough to run towards the problem, the person, the pain?

I've even noticed this in different ways in life, especially as it goes on.

When someone's grieving, for example, often we may send a card or send flowers and we'll maybe like check in with a text or

whatever but we actually don't run towards that person because it's

uncomfortable. Right or go hope you're okay, you know, heart, message, yeah, send a gift, yeah, check in once in a while,

or not even so because we don't know what to say.

What if there is no perfect action? What if there is no perfect solution? What if there is no perfect way of doing it? But just simply your action of running towards it was the greatest act that you could ever perform. Going towards the thing that hurts.
