I just ran across this video on YouTube. Shirley is a Capricorn and I can feel her sadness and relate to her struggle. I hate that she centered it all around her channel, but I hope she has success in committing to it. Funny that with so many subscribers(560k) she is admitting to them that she didn't put in work to get them, which in turn has made her feel undeserving and fearful of the results of committing and actually putting in the work will bring. Usually, with us, sometimes the effort seems to yield the opposite results.

Anyway, here is the video.

Cappies, what have you given 110% to? Also, do anyone that watches think this will solve her emptiness?

Cappies, before you go all out into a structure you're working towards, ask yourself if it's meaningful to you. Then ask yourself why...and keep going..
Ask "why" to each answer and just keep going..

do what you love.
Not what you think will give you results. Because in the end, everything gives you results. The kinds of results depend on the basis of what you were feeling in the journey to whatever you were striving for.
Because it's the journey that those keen cap legs are made for.

Why are so many people trying to tell us caps how to live without being asked, and in such a condescending way, these days?

@OP
There may be something wrong with the clip - at least I can't watch it.

What have I given 100% to? The true but boring answer is: everything I have really set my mind to. 🙂

Not sure why its not working, but her channel name is Shirley B. Eniang. Its the video from a day ago.

I didn't get condescending from Phantom at all and I did ask people to chime in. I feel I have issues that are very similar to Shirleys and its driving me crazy. Id love to hear anyones opinion on how to get over this. The questioning why, as far back as I can, is a good start.

She's flaking already. Just last month when I posted this video she promised her subscribers she'd commit to uploading two videos per week, and she did good for about two weeks smh. She's been M.I.A for the past two weeks and just posted a video today asking for forgiveness promising that after she's finished traveling she'll get back to it. She was being dishonest imo....she could hardly look at the camera. She can't commit to uploading as often as she promised her subscribers. She also mentioned she's in transition and trying to figure out her purpose.

My thing is, people would love to have nearly 600k subscribers. She's making money off of YouTube. Why is that not enough and why can't she commit to something that's profitable for her? She's only 24/25 and trying to figure out her purpose when shes already considered by many a YouTube success. Cappies smh.

What a wise person. Well, in my book.

I feel her. I'm so great at starting things really zealously. But once the realities of what it would take to accomplish a goal sets in, and obstacles my interest wanes and then I get lazy and hard to motivate. I aso start think of all the other people who I'm competing with and start to feel like I can't keep up.

Its something I'm constantly working on trying to stay mostivated enough to accomplish my goals. And caring what others are doing and how they are stacking up.

She'lol get there, one video at a time. Its about quality anyway.
