In our era of posting all of our best moments and not sharing the bad ones, I thought I would put a spotlight on the fact that we ALL have bad ones. My career has been a long journey of ups and downs, so if you have ever looked at someone’s posts on social media and thought “why isn’t my life perfect like theirs?!” - it’s not!!! No matter where we are or what job we have, setbacks are a part of everybody’s life. Stay optimistic, learn from it, surround yourself with supportive people, be kind, and keep an eye out for the light at the end of the tunnel (because it’s always there!❤️)

I am blown away reading all of your sweet comments, thank you all for your sharing your support, your love, and your own stories. Getting 🚨cancelled🚨 can make you feel pretty alone, but don’t forget that it has happened to everyone and it doesn’t have to knock you down!! Get out there and narrate your own stories, describers 💪💕💪

It happens far too often, and a lot of it comes down to many in the fashion industry not respecting the models. I've had a model do a two day editorial with Lachlan Bailey, meaning not paid, and then the magazine came out and he had been cut from the story. Another boy was cut from the LV show, even though they were in the bts video about the show.

This is so encouraging. Even for people who aren't models, we can get cancelled for trivial reasons that are totally outside our control. I loved hearing your message. Today, someone who cancelled me two years ago gave me her e-mail to set up a coffee date. She doesn't even remember meeting me last time, but she wants to connect with me after our meeting today. Life is crazy. This video is a good reminder that bad things happen, but keeping an open mind, radiating positive energy, and focusing on the things that you can control can open up doors for better endings.

your first story where you went to disneyland after being cancelled, reminded me of when i was fired from this really cool startup company, they literally were done with me in like 5-6 minutes!! they told me sorry, this is not really working out for us, so could you please give us back your laptop and keys from the building... i balled my eyes out... didn't know what to do... but then cuz i had some money saved up,, i decided to go on a spontaneous trip to London :)) it was my first time in London and i had a lot of fun there :)))

Hi lily, my teachers told me when I was very young that I would never become a doctor. I also had the worst grade one year at school. Now I am a doctor and I was the only one in my class that was actually able to become it! So I truly understand you, life is not easy at all. But we have the chance to demonstrate to people that they where wrong. 😘

Everyone can be inspired and take so much hope from this message. I have lived my life like this and it has helped me through sooooo many things over the years. Your mind and thoughts are absolutely connected to everything. So try hard to remain positive and think positive thoughts, no matter what people say to you and what happens to you. Feel sadness, anger, whatever emotion you need to at the moment, Just don’t dwell on that. Don’t let it linger. Be grateful for things and you will receive more things to be grateful for. Thank you so much for this video and sharing it with everyone. It really is a very important life lesson. 🙏🏼❤️

That whole thing of lashing out on models for having acne is so dumb, as if make-up is not used and that they don’t edit photos. Emotionally damaged people are just too much when they don’t work on said damage and take it out on others. Even if make-up and editing weren’t a thing it would STILL not be ok to go off like that on someone!

@@mdgsk824 This is absolutely true, but just about girls they wouldn't date, but that the beauty of the models makes many people unable to relate to them. They treat the model like garbage because they think of the team as being the photographer, stylist, hair and makeup, etc, but the model is separate.
