hi everyone so this is episode number
four for pillow talk with special guest
Karen hi do you guys remember Karen from
summer goals
she was the really cute girl the one
that did this probably a lot of it
topics are how to deal with failure
rejection sacrifice and living by your
parents standards okay okay good alright
this is by relaxed to nature when we
hear the word rejection it usually means
something unpleasant but is there a
positive side of rejection sometimes we
tend to feel like rejection is a bad or
negative connotation because that's what
society displaces on us however I always
had this belief in this mantra that
rejection would be a blessing in
disguise
rejection is just one way of directing
you to the right place that you need to
be everything happens for a reason so if
this doesn't happen right now then
something else is meant to happen I
heard this one saying that really
resonated with me and hopefully it
resonates with you guys on God or the
universe always has three answers to any
of your questions or concerns it's
always yes not yet or I have something
better so at least a Chan asks how would
you tell your parents about wanting to
live your own life and not something
they would expect from you I think a lot
of times we feel like our parents don't
understand us right but if we don't
communicate with them what we want they
really won't understand us it's true I
know my parents were immigrants so I
knew like they went through so much and
they didn't want us to go through the
same hardships when I graduated from
college I was told that I needed a
nine-to-five job imagine trying to
explain to your pants like hey mom and
dad I'm going to quit my job now and
make youtube videos I think for them to
really understand why this means so much
to me is that I showed consistency and
the things that I want I'm not just
saying hey mom dad I want to become a
youtuber or
become a painter but instead I show them
that I'm doing it that dedication shows
maturity and once you show maturity to
your parents that's when they can start
believing and you trust you it's so true
so rashik oh she asked how do I deal
with failure it's depressing when I
can't live up to my own standards as an
example that I can get from myself as
them when I first started my youtube
channel I have this like expectation in
my mind like how I want my videos to
turn out but if I kept having that
expectation then I would not keep
uploading things because I would just be
disappointed every single time I just
need to keep practicing and practicing
and practicing and each practice you can
you know give yourself a pat on the back
like wow I did it you know like I I
stepped out of my comfort zone to
achieve something that I couldn't before
so instead of thinking of a failure
think of it as many accomplishments you
didn't get you to that fun pat on the
back many accomplishment all the time he
thought it he's doing that to keep it
going
failure invites change that's how I see
it and change could be a good thing
age I guess I'm scared about going to
college and realizing I don't like my
major or career decision
please help it's okay like seriously
it's okay if you don't know what you
want to do even up until the point you
graduate it takes time I mean for some
people it takes them a lifetime to find
their passion College should be like a
introduction to a new world for you to
explore
you're going to learn a lot about being
on your own being a responsible adult
being responsible for your time I feel
like college teaches you a lot about
time management like if you have a class
at 8 a.m. you have to wake yourself up
you're not going to have your parents
here we can you up I know for a fact
that right before I went to college I
thought that it was going to be a lot
harder than high school
but it is easier because you don't have
to go to six classes in one day you
might be going to two to three different
classes yep and you end up having a lot
of time in your day and you can pick
your teachers yeah you get to pick your
teachers enjoy this moment because
you're not going to be around this many
creative like-minded people in college
because when you go out into the real
world it's really different it's
actually harder I feel like people
actually say oh the real world is really
hard and I never really understood it
until I had to go into it so enjoy it
please to choose are sweeter asks how do
you pursue a career and art well being
recognized for your intellect love your
voice I think society often discredit or
doesn't give enough credit for creative
people and if you just look around
you're like everything around you look
at the magazines or like clothes or
packaging right every room yeah there's
someone that thought about how to put
all that together whenever there's
design there's a sense of intelligence
behind it but it's another form of
intelligence that's not about words or
writing or books or science its visual
or its sound its audio or its taste if
you want to pursue a career in art
there's so many different paths you can
take you don't just have to be a painter
you can be a social media manager that
focuses on the creativity of the social
media
creative director um you could also be a
stylist I mean there's so many different
facets of creativity don't just limit
yourself to one final question is from
Eleanor poit
she asked Michele how do you deal with
feeling isolated and lonely
cool love you there's nothing wrong with
learning how to be comfortable by
yourself in your own thoughts good
people will attract good people I think
feeling isolated is only temporary
because you'll eventually be attracted
or you'll find good people to eat to
surround yourself with and if anything I
think it's a blessing in disguise
because you filter out the not-so-good
people on their life and so you only
have like a handful of good people in
our life and those are the only people
that you do want in your life anyway if
you want to find people if you want
changing in your life you have to invite
that change and sometimes that change
can be scary but you need to have that
challenge to push you into a different
direction for your personal development
so that's pretty much if guys these were
all the questions thank you so much for
