Surprising Reasons Why When Things Don’t Work Out Is Powerful
When Things Don’t Work Out
The video reflects on the importance of finding joy in the process when things don’t work out. In the original article, I draw inspiration from Gary Vee’s analogy of the practical aspects of a business to dirt and the ultimate vision to the clouds. I share my experience of not landing a dream job due to the employer’s preference for a specific style. My autism makes it difficult to understand my emotions, but I decided to attend the meet and greet for the role, where they realized that the owner had a different vision for the role and its content.
Despite the disappointment, I remain humble and look for positive takeaways. Disappointment and near misses can be the best motivation when things don’t work out. Learning the basics can be beneficial. I’ve adopted a growth mindset and believe in making things more efficient. Lastly, I reflect on the positive takeaways and what went well and not so well during the mock interview.
Thank You
A special thank you to my cousin, mom, and loyal supporters who helped me through the application process. I’ve grown so much in my ability to post content regularly and also grow from failures and foibles. Many of you who know me know that I’m awfully stubborn, especially when things don’t work out. I’ll keep trying to purse my dream of becoming a content creator and push to create a job and role for me if it doesn’t exist.
I can’t wait to keep learning in public even when things don’t work out fully. Especially when things don’t work out because that’s when you learn the most. I’ll try my best to document the entire process moving forward and celebrate the wins when I get them.
Much love LBM ♥

Beginner’s Mind and Expert Attitude Snowboarding in Japan
Beginner’s Mind and Expert Attitude on The Slopes
Have you ever approached a new challenge with a beginner’s mind and an expert attitude? It’s a powerful combination that can transform the way you learn and grow. I recently put this approach to the test on the slopes and discovered how it can help you embrace the journey, not just the destination.
Before heading up the mountain, I set a goal to create high-quality cinematic shots using only a GoPro camera. I followed a tutorial on camera settings and did my best to capture cool shots. However, I quickly realized that snowboarders use a long recording arm to get the best shots, and the FOV of the camera was limited. Instead of getting upset, I embraced the learning experience and kept going.
Keeping the Expert Attitude Alive.
It can be tough to maintain an expert attitude when your ego is screaming that you’re bad. But I made a conscious decision to stop shit-talking myself and absorb information from others. I ran into a group of friends who were more advanced than me, and I asked them for advice. By trying to keep up with them, I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and reached new heights.
Snowboarding with friends also made it easier to laugh off tough falls. I learned to approach each fall as part of the process and not let it discourage me. The combination of a beginner’s mind and an expert attitude allowed me to embrace the journey, no matter how many times I fell.
In conclusion, the beginner’s mind and expert attitude can help you accept challenges more easily. An open mind is a willingness to learn. It’s about embracing the journey, not just the destination. So next time you try something new, remember to keep an expert attitude and a beginner’s mind. You might be surprised at how far it takes you.
