Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Let it Be Easy with Susie Moore.
I would like to share a lovelyquote that I saw the other day.
I thought I've got to bringthis to my pod listeners, break
it down a little bit and talk toyou about it today.

(00:20):
It is a Japanese proverb and itgoes like this life without
endeavor is like entering ajewel mine and coming out with
empty hands.
My gosh, I love this quote.
Life without endeavor is likeentering a jewel mine and coming

(00:41):
out with empty hands.
My friends, the world is ajewel mine.
There is so much possibility,there is so much opportunity.
We are in a candy store, myfriends, of options.
Look at the world we live intoday, in 2025.
We, oh, my gosh, look this uhinsurgence of ai.

(01:04):
Look at, uh, how connected weare globally.
Look at how we can startsomething with such incredible
ease.
Our ancestors, my gosh, they'dbe marveling at us from the next
realm, going, wow, look, howeasy they had it.
I used to have to take horsethree towns across to get a
message to somebody, and here weare.

(01:28):
So does your life possess enoughendeavor to satisfy you?
It's interesting becausepossibilities, certainly, and
opportunities surround us, butit takes our effort and our
focus and our determination tounlock them.
Even if you go into a mine fullof jewels, you need a.

(01:50):
I mean, what do you take?
Is it a shovel?
Is it a pick?
I don't even know what you'dcall it.
You still have to dig.
You still have to get them outof the earth.
You know you can join a gym,right, but it's not going to
make you an athlete.
You can join a writing workshop, even a really expensive one
somewhere in Europe, but it'snot going to make you an author.

(02:12):
Sitting down to write will,showing up on the elliptical
will make the shifts.
One thing that I've always knownin my heart, I swear, since I
was a child, is that wastedpotential is perhaps the worst
feeling.
Knowing that you could havedone something, knowing that you

(02:32):
have something within you andjust letting it stay dormant,
doing nothing about it.
Right, that's that empty handedfeeling.
Empty-handed feeling Notempty-handed because there was
nothing there, empty-handedbecause you seized nothing.
For me, that is so much worsethan failure.
I can't imagine having the ideafor a podcast for years and

(02:55):
just thinking about it and kindof maybe perfecting it in my
mind, while secretly hidingknowing that recording the first
episode is the way that I canbe generous Sitting down to
record, releasing this being inyour earbuds morning after
morning, every day, dailypodcast.
This is me collecting my jewels.
Look what I get to do.
I get to be in your life.

(03:17):
I get to spend time with youdaily.
My gosh, wasted potential,wasted talent is so much worse
than failing at something orgetting an unwanted result at
something.
I don't have to tell you eitherthat action is always the bridge
between desires andmanifestations.

(03:37):
It's the person who shows up,it's the person who's consistent
who wins.
And I think sometimes we feellike we have to make this big,
grand gesture Maybe it's a biginvestment or a really big, bold
move in order to prove that,yes, this is our endeavor, we're
moving forward.
Look, I'm making moves.

(03:57):
It's not.
It's small daily commitments,small weekly commitments.
I spoke to someone in mycommunity recently who said
she's been just posting oneshort video a week.
You know, doing it messy, notperfect audio, no perfect setup,
but over the course of ninemonths now she's got a dedicated

(04:20):
, small audience.
It's not some big, perfectthing that she launched with a
camera crew and amazing musicand hair and makeup.
No, it's her in her home and,bit by bit right, the jug fills
drop by drop.
Her endeavor is paying off andshe's having fun.

(04:41):
Where can you apply this to yourlife today?
Life without endeavor is likeentering a jewel mine and coming
out with empty hands.
Palms open, my friends, let'sgo Until tomorrow.
