In February, I had a beautiful discussion with a young woman.
She has pursued post secondary education and earned her degree.
She realized that she now earned her degree, however, she was still unfulfilled as she felt pressure and obligation from everyone in her life.
She eluded to me that she did not really know what she wanted to be or do.
We had a lovely conversation about making lists of what she loved, what she liked, what she didn’t enjoy and the dream list.
Fast forward to August and we had an opportunity to have another great chat. She is now studying daily for her LSAT.
Here’s the difference from February – her mindset, attitude and overall demeanor.
She eluded, ”I am studying daily and will give 100% effort when I write my LSAT. I am not emotionally connected to the outcome. If I pass, that would be wonderful, if I don’t I can and will try again.”
She also reached out and spoke to many lawyers in different areas of law and in their careers. Most of them shared with her that they failed the LSAT the first time and that it’s not the ’be all end all’ and to write it again and keep moving foward.
Language is so important.
Fail forward. You will never know where you might land! 💜
