Most people in this world want to be liked and accepted. But the truth is… sometimes in life, no matter what we do or say, certain people are just not going to like us. For whatever reason, they’re simply not a fan (HA!) and if we resist this fact, it can be extremely draining, mentally and emotionally, trying to contort ourselves into who or how they would prefer us to be. If we keep looking outside of ourselves, for validation, wanting everybody to like us, understand us or to celebrate us, we are going to be murderously disappointed. Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about “people pleasing”. That soul-sucking, exhausting racket that will only work to break us down and make us resentful of others. It’s time to stop wasting your energy trying to be liked by everybody else and work on loving ourselves. In order to live as God/Divine/Spirit intended us to be, we have to be willing to write our own authentic story, where we step out of the box the world tries to put us in and live the glory that is our true destiny.
