LTS: For My Luvs That Are Stuck Right Now







Hi Luvs,

One of the perks of growing up in Cali is waking up to the hot sun beating down on your face and/or back giving you a sunburn before you even wake up (I am just bursting with the sheer joy of soothing my burns, hope you caught the sarcasm). Currently putting something cool on my cheeks as we speak.

Today is Saturday, so let's talk!


I am talking to you! Yes, you! Right now you are stressing out, giving up, and immobile because you had a plan. You  thought that you were going to get through every step, even while overcoming those little roadblocks that would be in your way. You were naive and I agree. You had this picture in your head of how you were going to get to your career, but now that picture is starting to fade and you are vulnerable.

You knew the degree that you would attain after 4 or 5 years would be the stepping stone. But now you are not so sure if what you are studying is the right thing, but you are about to graduate in a year maybe two and there is no time left. The panic is rising and you are lost, so now what?

1. I need you to know that not only are you not alone, but that everyone gets lost.

2. Get a piece of paper.

3. On that paper right down all your regrets and things you wish you had done.
4. Get something else that you can write on, it can't be paper. (shoe box, cereal box, get creative)

5. Take that list of regrets and "could have done" fold it neatly and....
WE ARE ABOUT TO GET CREATIVE HERE GET READY!

6. Hold that paper and curse, scream, cry, punch something around you (something not alive)

7. Destroy that paper (I will leave you to your own devices)

8. On that other item you put to the side, I want you to create a new plan on it.

9. It's okay if you're unsure of where you going but lets write things we want to achieve (getting more involved in your field, networking with people, etc.)

10. Put it somewhere you can look at. A while from now your going to destroy that as well because your path to success will always change as you evolve.

Plans are only small steps in the bigger realm of reaching our goals. Edit your plans monthly, because life will never be a smooth journey & doesn't always cater to your desire and it's okay.

Let's make our dreams a reality we live.

  - Sincerely Fay,
