Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

There is a quote I love that has been analyzed differently by many people with many different interpretations.

So I want to share with you the quote today and my own personal interpretation because I think this quote is beautiful

and it just speaks to something within me

that's eternal and almost childlike.

And I want to hear from you.

What's your interpretation of this quote?

You can DM me on Instagram. I'm at

Susie dot more. This is a quote from Martin Luther and he said this

even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

Let me repeat that, my friend. Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree. What does this mean to you? To me it speaks to the fact that we can have optimism even in the face of certain failure,

or even if we know that something, we really believe that we know something is going to go to pieces,

we can still decide in this moment what we believe and how we act.

To me it also questions the nature of certainty itself, right?

Even if I knew the world would go to pieces, that's what a lot of people will tell you every day, right? This is what's happening in the world. It's all over, it's miserable.

I still want to be the person who plants my apple tree. I learned the saying a long time ago that no one in fact knows enough to be cynical.

We're so quick to write things off and say it's over and say the world is dissolving around us.

But isn't it still up to us what we do today, how we feel, how we perhaps even question everything

going to pieces. Can we ever really know for sure?

I would rather be the naive person planting my apple tree, believing, investing in something, creating something, doing something beautiful and generous for others?

Then be the person who knows everything and there's no point and I'm writing it off and you know why bother.

Even if I knew that tomorrow the wallet falls to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.
