Hey, it's your girl, simply Shanika, and you are now listening to The Goddess Confessions. the goddess confessions. How are you less but wanting more for yourself? That's what I want to talk about today.

You know, I've had instances in my life where again you know I've had people who told me that I can't do the things that I want to do and who do I think I am and I've always thought that to be very crazy to me because how can you

be less for wanting more for yourself? Isn't that what life is about? Aren't we supposed to grow?

Aren't we supposed to learn? We make mistakes, we gain wisdom, we do better, not just for ourselves but for our children and for the people around us.

But it's funny how the moment you start to take those steps to better your life

people will seriously have a problem with that. It baffles me.

And then one day I just decided to say, you know what, I don't care any more.

If I got to walk this path alone while I'm trying to do better, I don't mind

because I'd rather have people around me that support what I do and support me wanting to be better than those who will look down

on me because I want to do better. You know a lot of people are comfortable in their circumstances. They're comfortable, you know,

struggling, they're comfortable not challenging themselves. They're comfortable with everything wrong that they know they

want to change, but they won't do it. Out of fear, I don't know. Personally, I don't care. But one thing you cannot do is shun someone else because they want to do better for themselves.

Most people will wake up and they will realize that

their reality is not one that they want to live anymore.

I feel like that's the reason why a lot of people are

depressed, suffering from anxiety, you know, feeling lost, because we don't do the

things that we really afraid to try. And I finally came to the realization that no matter what you do, people are going to have something to say anyway.

You can't please everybody. You can please yourself. You can please the people in your life that are actually happy for you. But you can't please those that are focused on misunderstanding you. You can't.

You should focus on the people in your life that actually care and you should focus on better than yourself.

Life is about growth.

Having experiences and trying to become better so that we can pass down our wisdom,

our knowledge, our experiences to others.
