Welcome to Let it be easy with Susie Moore.

Who doesn't love a bit of RuPaul and RuPaul's drag race?

I have to say that when I've seen RuPaul interviewed,

I find him to be incredibly wise, incredibly connected, and just knowing who he is.

And one thing that RuPaul said, which I remember posting about this ages ago, and it's just stuck with me and I repeat it often is this

negativity is lazy. Oh my gosh, how I could talk your ear off my friends about this because as a

person who's consciously cheerful, choosing the thoughts that I allow through my brain

on repeat, meaning my belief system, as someone who is very aware of the emotions that I want to create in my body which should create my actions

and therefore my entire life, I refuse to be negative, at least for long. Sure we have negative moments, there are disappointments,

life's a roller coaster, there are ups and downs,

I'm certainly not immune, but I'm not going to stay there.

And I remember one time in my corporate job I come from the

tech world. One time in the kitchen I was saying you know oh good morning. You know, usual me. And one guy who I worked with who was, I mean, so deeply

cynical, always looking sad and, or angry or, you know, mad at the world.

He said to me once, are you always so happy?

And in that moment I actually wanted to scream.

I wanted to say, it takes inner work for me to be this cheerful.

I don't just wake up and go, the sun's shining, everything's wonderful, I have no problems. That isn't my experience, right? I'm a human just like you, but I choose another way.

I choose to do the work on myself. I focus on what it is I can appreciate in my life. I call

my to-do list, my get-to-do list. Put simply like this, you know, if on my to-do list, most people

call it that, is record podcast episodes.

Mine says get to do list, record podcast episodes because you are showing up and listening.
