So many women bashing this woman because she doesn’t know “real” struggles apparently. It’s really sad that a person can’t struggle because her obstacles are invalidated by other people’s personal standards.
maybe, just maybe if people learned to REALLY LISTEN to others, and also if there was such thing as constitutional right to stay alive at the end of a schoolday instead of that for carrying guns, there wouldn't be such tragic things happening. you have clearly NOT LISTENED to the lesson (a very universal, spiritual, and extremely useful one) because you got so hung up on the fact that her career was in modelling. what i hear from your comment is that you are very judgmental of life choices of others, you are quick to not hear someone's suffering because it doesn't jazz with your standards (are you doing something really important that betters the world, btw ? if you're not, it's ok, but don't be too harsh on others, please.), a whole lot of bitterness (or jealousy, maybe), and shamefully misusing a truly tragic event to atempt and bring several people down who were trying to be uplifting and to share the tools that can help motivate people and give them strength to achieve whatever it is that they happen to care for. the question is : why are you behaving like this ? (it's a question for you to answer to yourself, i happen to not care, but maybe it can help you.)
Eva Bernard why you hating on other person successful life? As I know she’s been working since 16 years old. Hating someone is not going to bring you up, it’s opposite it will make you miserable. Think how you could change yourself and first step is to love yourself and love others!
@Eva Bernard so working as a model from 16 onwards and even after giving birth to 2 kids doesnt count as working hard in modeling?pfff not too mention her youtube chanel and other business ventures....you are either very stupid or very envyous....probably both...they said the same thingh in Brazil about Adriana Lima you are nothingh special here but look at her now.....
@Eva Bernard You’re ignorant and judgmental as hell. Her mom left Russia aged 21 as a single mother with a 2 year old daughter (Valeria) to go live in a foreign country where she had no connections, nothing. She built herself up from nothing. Valeria had a very modest upbringing and worked hard to get where she is today. So what if she married an older man? That’s her business and not yours. Get some perspective and some humility.
The hate comments on this video are a perfect example of "you're not allowed to be sad because someone has it harder than you" or "you can't be tired after working 6 hours because another person worked 8." This is a very insecure mindset to have that does in fact come from jealousy and lack of empathy. No one tells people they can't be happy because someone else has it better. Anyone can have struggles.
The hate I witness towards models is disgusting, every job requires hard work. Modeling is not easy like people think, and the money isn't great unless you're a super model.
I dunno...I know where you're coming from but when feel sad / rejected / defeated by life I always tell myself that I have it easier than most people in the world (I'm Aussie - if you're middle class in a country like Canada, US, UK, Western Europe, Australia you're lucky) and my issues must seem trivial to many people out there. It works to snap myself out of a depression. When I complain about working 9-10 hours a day in my comfortable, well-paying office job, I feel like an idiot
Maria G I understand that but sometimes that doesn’t help it hurts more. For example depression doesn’t care what life you have,how hard you work,or what race you are,or where you come from or how much money you have.Depression can be for any and everyone
Maria G also anxiety can play a part. I unfortunately have it and it’s different types but i know how mines work and I can scream all day for my mind to shut up but it doesn’t I can say well people have it harder but then my anxiety twist it and say I’m selfish and I have no reason to be sad or depressed I’m stupid for it. But I understand where you come from because it helps some people . But what some people are saying to her aren’t helpful and encouraging words but hate and disgusting negativity.and that should never be acceptable
My ‘big moment’ that I totally blew was my Cambridge university interview for their medical school - cried for 2 days afterwards I could tell from each interviewers face they were like no who is this girl. I let my insecurities get to me, I didn’t feel these people were my world both my parents are unemployed my answers were blank even though I had been studying for months but it taught me so much now in hindsight: and failure is never the end of the world, only a lesson
This is exactly what im talking about! We all often times our own enemy by not believing in ourselves! Thank you for sharing your experience, im happy to hear you turned around and made it into a lesson rather than a negetive turn in your life! Lots of love to you
Sim Khok Yee no it is not. That is how many people react to failure, to protect themselves. If you're not accepted to your dream school, it's them who did not recognise your genius, if you are rejected by a guy or girl you like it's their fault for not seeing how amazing you are. No it is not, you didn't show them because things don't always work out as planned, and I realise in life the more excited I am about something and the more I want to impress, the more I mess up, just like she did. It doesnt mean that I dont KNOW that I can do way better than that, its just that in the situation I couldnt get myself to. And thats sad and fucking dissapointing but it's not the end of the world and it's not other people's fault
Gloria Holly uh its not your fault for not showing them it's their fault for not trying to get you to show them. If someones not interested in getting to know you then it IS their loss because 1 day you could be some rich successful man/woman you just never know Edit: and 9 times out of 10 they end up regretting it. But Carly is also right. It sometimes isn't anybodies fault.
Valeria it was so brave of you to share your story, it's never easy to be open about a vulnerable moment in your life and I 100% believe the universe works in mysterious ways. Here on RUclips you're impacting others in a huge way and you're shining like a star in a massive way!! 💘💘💁💁 Go Girl!!!
Going through the comments and thinking.. Valeria shares her experience to send a positive message but God damn it, there’s so many people out there who are just so negative and take it to a whole another level..
I love the way you think. Sometimes we have to fall apart before getting stronger. Pray for someone out there who never experienced failure but always got the opportunities to do something all the damn time.
what is victoria secret when I only know Valeria Lipovetsky lol. My superwoman. My motivator. When you share your experiences, I sort of think of my situation and it becomes so relatable and actually, you made me realize a lot of things in general. And I'm glad that the universe brought me to know you.
For all those who are posting negative comments, i dare you to make a you tube channel and share a video on- Your worst failure,and i hope at that moment of recording it in front of camera you will realize how difficult it is to not be ashamed of your failures and hit that upload button.
Thank you! People like you make me want to believe in humanity again. In Germany we have an idiom: "kicking someone who is already laying on the ground" That's mostly what's happening here and I don't get it, really. For me personally this was a very inspiring video
I literally cannot believe some people having this obsessive need to bring something so negative and out of context into a video full of positive and wise messages. Hope the “win spirit” overweighs the “excuses spirit” and those who don’t believe in own success will get there eventually.
haters gonna hate..keep inspiring us valeria :) i'm from a third world country and i don't feel any bitterness in this "white girl with a rich husband" issue that they keep throwing at you to invalidate your struggles and failures. i also have my own struggles and watching an inspiring video,like from yours, helps me to keep moving forward in life :)
Sweet Valeria, You are so beautiful, and you have such a cute family! I am so glad I came across your channel! I love that you have natural beauty, and inward beauty! 💖 All the mean comments are most likely from jealousy... You are such an inspiration! Have a wonderful day Sweetie, and always remember that God loves You! Psalms 139:14 (KJV) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
I love you and all, but...it is much easier to "fail" when you are married to a rich guy and a white, attractive female model. Failing for an average woman usually isn't quite as enlightening, but just stressful and terrifying because we can't just move on to pay a fortune to study nutrition or start a youtube channel. We have to work to pay our bills!
Failing is never easy no matter your skin colour, married or divorced. Don't let yourself be discouraged with excuses. YOU can grow and learn lessons and better yourself from every experience. The attitude in your comment is not one of a winner- its one of defeat. That will get you nowhere. We all have our struggles (small and big) but There are 287463756346549365 examples of successful people from all walks of life that made it! Oprah is a perfect example- look her story up. Please don't live your life filling your mind with thoughts such as "I cant do this because...." - YOU CAN. Best of luck to you
Valeria Lipovetsky hey.. you got some haters and i think that you are very popular to the point where you get haters no matter what positive message or good video you put out. Xoxo
Valeria Lipovetsky your response is trash, in that comment she was not making excuses she was stating facts as to how and why underprivileged, colored women have a lot less chances. As a privileged white women you will never understand this, so please never again speak on behalf of us colored women. Yes Oprah made it, you are correct, but she had to try 1000000x harder than a white women would have. Just a fact.
omg im about to cry, i had a similar experience once when i was i think 14 y/o i used to make tv commercials and i was filming one day and suddenly got my period and i was new to it so i wasn't prepared and so i got very distracted and i kept going to the bathroom for paper because i was very afraid to tell anyone and i was also in pain i clearly did a horrible job so they let me go and my self esteem just kind of disappeared i cried a lot and tried to forget it since then but seeing this makes me think about how much trauma i still have in me because i just like tried to erase that moment instead of learning from it
Omg that's it! That's my problem! It's the trauma that has built inside of me from all my failures, instead of letting them go and/or learning from them they torture me inside. But Valeria is right you have to learn from the mistakes. Time to change how I look at things.
Her life compared to ours is different; at least most of us can't literally relate to her experiences, because she has a different style of life. She was introduced to the modeling industry at a young age. According to her and her experience, this was a failure, a rejection. People shouldn't be feeling jealous. This is her life, her RUclips channel about her life. And I love you Valeria!
That was powerful, Valeria! PS. That’s how you know you’re making it on RUclips, when the losers, haters and trolls come to throw dirt. Welcome them. Let them comment away on your videos. It all contributes to engagement and channel growth ;)
Yes, it's sometimes hard to hear another person's struggles and if they don't seem as " bad" as yours it's easy to bash on them and invalidate what they've been though. HOWEVER I think a huge realization that I've had is that EVERYTHING we go through and experience is based on our own perception. To one person something might seem like the hardest thing in the world but to you it might seem like a no brainer. But that doesn't change what the other person is feeling. We all have challenges, we're all struggling in our own ways, and we all have different stories and purposes so it's up to you to make the best of what you got and not let excuses stand in your way. If you can't relate to someone then find someone else and don't bash the person. Any judgement is self judgement. Level of confidence and happiness is not determined from what your life looks like but how you feel and that's totally in your power to create. Thank you for sharing your experience Valeria! Xoxo
Very inspiring, I went through the same failures in my younger years when I was looking for job, I kept finding myself unhired until one day I realized I was projecting an un confident person and just taking random job interviews. I narrowed down my favorite fields and really practiced talking to people more openly. Now I have an amazing job and I love everyday
I think people need to understand that some people’s priorities are not everyone’s priorities...yet whether big or small the weight priorities and failures have on each person’s life can be life changing in positive and negative ways. I am thankful for Valeria’s advice. 🙏🏻☺️
I'm at 5 min, but I just wanna say.. What *I* think happened, or why it HAD to happen - because this is it for you. I've been following you on here from the very start, and you blew up like crazy, I honestly can't remember right now if I know any other yt that is growing SO fast. No shade to VS models, they're obv stunning, hard working women, but their job is - their beauty. That's what happened! Your job, your purspose is not your beauty. Tho you are pretty much one of the most beautiful women I know of, your strenght is your personality. So thank God you didn't get a career as just a model who is walking and sitting pretty. Instead, you MADE yourself a career in which you share yourself and your character, and, I for one, am REALLY happy it happened the way it did.
Topics like this tend to be really cliche since it's talked about so much, but the fact that u use your example story and your personal growth from failure really allows me to understand and appreciate your message. Thank you. Love from China.
I totally understand I was all ready and prepared to go try out for this modelling agency, this was going to be my first time auditioning, and I was so terrified of what people would think of me and I was so scared of failure that I bunked out a few days before and now I really regret. This video has really helped me and I think I’m going to give it a shot!!! Love you Valeria!!!
I really appreciate this kind of videos, because all people share their happiness but a few successful people talks about failure and how to overcome, I gonna say my currently failures, and hope come back to you and say that FINALLY I got a good position! For last 2 months I'm applying for a PhD position, at first when I read an email that said no, I was devastated, and I couldn't work for couple hours and I was like this is the end of the WORLD, but now I'm like this, 1.Reading an email that says no: put whole files in "rejected folder" 2. Reading an email that offering me an interview: move whole files to "interview folder" and keep working on my papers, and it became my "MY DAILY ROUTINE!" HAHAHA That's the spirit ;)
Valeria, I live in Nigeria (pretty sure it qualifies for Third World Country) and I'd just like to say: ignore the haters who keep attempting to bring up your race or good looks. Everyone fights their own battles, full stop. I'm not watching your videos to 100% relate to you. I don't think ANYONE can fully relate to you except yourself! I don't understand this white privilege thing at all. Not all white women are in the same boat. Some are disabled, plus sized, disfigured, have disabilities. Some just aren't model material. And even those who happen to be white, female and model material STILL cannot 100% relate to you because they may, compared to the struggle of your early life as an immigrant, have been in a place of "privilege" for being born in the U.S, some of them also born to already rich families (like Kendall, or etc). NO ONE should be watching this to relate 100% because everyone has their own life, setbacks and history which shapes them into who they are. Idk if I'm making sense. The point of this video was "DEALING WITH FAILURE", failure being the key point. The failure was someone working so hard to acheive a goal and not reaching it. This could be applicable to ANYTHING, like not getting into your dream college.
Failure is just letter of our book of life. What we need to do is just fill rest of our pages with challenge,success,failrue,and challenge again. Or who would read others' life story unless all have same pages and pace of life and answers? Thousands of books are here on the earth. And I definitely and gladly will read your book as always no matter how many failures you make, Valeria. Cuz your pages are full of inspirations I look for. The thing I found extraordinary of your book is, your pages are full of 'Do what I craved and learn from days' not letting those failure letters make your book to end there. Love you. Cheer up. Failure is experience itself not a mistake.
First big failure can feel devestating. I know it only happens when you dare to reach further than you know. And it's so so important to keep doing that, to not lose faith in yourself just because you failed. This video felt so raw and real - you don't often get to see this side of success. Thank you for this! xoxo
I totally relate to being soo close to your dream and everything falling through. My dream is to be a software engineer at Google and somehow I was recruited for an interview after my junior year of college for their summer internship. I didn't apply because I didn't think I would get it but they came to me and I was freaking out, I studied so hard for it but when it came time for the interview I just froze, forgot everything I knew, and all my insecurities came crashing down at this one moment and I completely blew it. I was so close, but I've learned from that experience so that's important.
This is the first time I see one NOT blaming his/her failure on something external AT ALL. All she talked about the VS team was how nice they treated her. Didn’t even complain anything about the modeling industry which many girl models felt rough with. Aren’t you amazing
Thank you for being so honest wow you're so inspiring I love how you never let this incident phase you even though you said you cried for days, you're so strong & dope, stay poppin' boo (':
I really don't understand the negative comments on this video. Valeria, you are the most genuine RUclipsr I follow/subcribe to. I admire that you try to incite inspiration and relate to your viewers. You have true grace in the way you take the time to respond to your viewers and reply with kindness. Everyone has their failures. Sharing and talking about our personal experiences should serve to breed more understanding and compassion for one another. Diversity not only exists in race, ethnicity, and creed but also in experience and point of view. Thank you for sharing your failures and what you've learned. We all have room to grow. ❤
You lost one chance, one opportunity, but have u ever thought about what ur life would be if u got that one chance? Failure is the only way for someone to succeed, not everyone gets what they want from the first shot, it always happens after many many tries. Now that you didn’t get accepted, You moved on with life, ur life progressed. You have a job, a family, and many viewers that support you in what you do!So you should really be happy that you have a family now that will see you as their role model but not only them us too! And that’s life after-all, this is how it goes XD I’m so happy for you Valeria, i hope you keep doing what you do and most importantly believe in yourself!❤️ xxx
I’m a girl from Turkey who is an actress and used to be rejected lots of times, still waiting for that one big opportunity. Being an artist or being passionate about what you’re bringing to the world what makes you aware of yourself as a human and then you become determined i think.So i watched your video with tears in my eyes.You helped me very much.Thank you for inspiration💖
This happens to so many of us. Sometimes lack of confidence comes from things we went through in our childhood or things we have experienced. You are so beautiful, kind and smart... You are everything. And you must remember that.
You are so mature for your age. Rejection is really hurt. I have been rejected many times through out my life and it is still painful but time heal me. Along with it I have realized it was just a life experience that taught me something everytime. I have failed at job interview at the last stage. I passed all the first written test and psychology but not last one to one interview because I was really unprepared and unexperience and too nervous. That failure and rejection remind me next time to learn more and prepare more about why I want to work at ‘that’ company and why I apply ‘that’ position. Failed at relationship remind me what I need to change about myself to become a better me. And so on. Yes, I agree failure is a stepping stone for all of us:) Keep it up Valeria💃🏼
meg chapman yes, she’s 27 I believe but sometimes I forgot and think she is still in early 20’s:) anyway I still consider her very mature in her 27 by uplifting other through her experience. It is just my personal opinion:)
I also went through my failure moment about 2 years ago, I was so scared to even talk about it, even with myself, I felt like I seriously messed up my life, but now looking back that decision just pointed me into a much wider and brighter direction in my life. everyone go through failure in life in some ways, what i find most difficult is not the failure itself but the courage to face it or reveal what exactly happened, it is very brave of you to share this. Thank you !!! Keep being you xxx : )
I wouldn't call not getting VS a failure. VS has VERY specific body types and only a few spots and a million applicants. Just because you didnt get it doesnt mean you're not an amazing model or even that you dont fit their standards
Thank you so much, Valeria! You're one of the very few people that REALLY care about their subscribers! I feel like you make these videos for US, really us, not to get views! And I appreciate that. Much love from Portugal!
I’m so glad I watched this today. We’ve all hit a wall one day and it takes us by surprise. It’s usually because we are at a turning point. Not everything is for everyone.
thank you! I feel your story and it's really motivational, it's great that you are encouraging people to try and persist and be strong, I appreciate and it makes me feel better, thank you, you are one of my favorite people on the internet, lots of love for you!
Thank you this is exactly what I needed! After 2 job promotion rejections and after so many failed relationships and friendships... If you keep moving on and learning from your mistakes things can only get better and improve. Just because you hit a wall that doesn't mean we cannot walk around it, it takes longer but the rewards can be so much greater! You are my Sunday inspiration. I love your videos!
Honestly, you are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen - from your looks to your personality, I admire you so much. I want to be like you someday (minus the modelling career 😂 lol).I'm already 16 and I'm neither pretty nor sexy, not even tall, but I think my intelligence and passion for writing is something worth celebrating about. And I have learned to accept these things about me because of you and your inspirational videos Valeria,so thank you very much ❤ love from the Philippines
"You're a winner when you just keep trying, because a lot of times things don't happen the first time, or the second time, or the third time... but if you're determined, the world falls in love with (your) determination..." I needed to hear this! That is encouraging, because I have been learning from my failures and growing a lot from it in this season of my life. I'm a winner, cause I don't give up... even when I feel like I suck. haha! Thank you, girl!
THANK YOU for creating this video. I blew a job interview for my dream company last year. Initially, I couldn't even fathom they'd give my resume the time of day. I'm still kicking myself for it now, and keep thinking why the hell couldn't I be my usual confident self at the time. Just hearing you share your story and words of encouragement really made my day.
Practice is so important, I made the mistake of not practicing my walk and poses when I was signed with my first agency and I barley booked anything. I never booked editorial, only promo and background modeling and one runway. Now that I'm in my late 20s I've been practicing and I can't wait to get back into it and see where the hard work gets me.
Hey Valeria thank you for sharing this experience with us, its truly very interesting and something we don't hear everyday. After following your channel for a really long time and watching literally every single video of yours I can't seem to shake this thought out of my head every time I watch your "inspirational/self love" videos, and judging by the comments obviously I'm not alone here. I appreciate that you're sending positive energy through your videos but it seems only like a means to gain subscriber loyalty and empathy to your character. I believe as you mentioned at the age of 19, you have the support of a man dripping in wealth to support you while you go after YOUR dreams. And from what it seems modelling isn't a full time career or at least you're not getting enough jobs that amount to a significant income and so the income mostly from your husband. So let's face it because it's the truth and most of us that are NOT young teens can grasp this that you are, since you were young, very advantaged mainly because of the financial support provided from your husband. And hey! this is great and I'm certainly not judging however don't act like you have gone through the worst of life and rose from ashes of poverty to achieve what you have today, Nope you've had a lot of "help" to get to where you today. So pls don't use "inspiration videos" as a manipulative way because I know how many girls can watch these videos and think wow this girl gets us, she's a true rags to riches. Maybe your mom is but I highly doubt you are.
Ps I know this comment will may get bashed but all I want to say to some young girls watching this is please listen to those in your life that loves you and take with a grain of salt those ppl on the Internet because you don't know for sure if what they're saying is true and the motive behind their videos. Maybe they're really trying to reach out to young girls or they're just trying to grow their channel by reaching out to young girls so they'll get more sponsors and this may become a means to support themselves and get on extravagant trips with big brands. Behind everything Valeria SAYS is something very objective, she's been married at an young age to a much older rich businessmen WHILE pursuing her dreams. Not many of us will live this way of life, so be realistic, don't put your faith in other people especially ppl you don't fully know. Believe in yourself and one day when you've achieved it in life whether it be financially or emotionally you'll realize these young beautiful girls that married rich old guys, their biggest insecurity is they took a short cut in life (not that they didn't work at all) and that's why they want you to believe they worked hard, went through the unbearable. What people talk about the most is usually where their insecurities are.
Lychee Bobo thank you for watching and for your input. I usually don’t comment on comments like yours but I also understand you can’t possibly know my past so I wanted to shed some light. I started working at the age of 15 and help my mother to support our family, luckily i had the opportunity to work as a model but let me assure you that if it wasn’t Modeling it would have been anything else because for me the goal was to make money and help my family. By no means I’m saying we lived on the street but money was always a struggle. I started working and making money and supported myself this whole time, I put money aside, sent it home to my mom when I was abroad and kept working- it was my FULL TIME JOB while still studying and finishing high school remotely. I met Gary at 20 years old- still financially independent. Gary came from poverty and his first job was at McDonald’s when he was 14. He worked his ass off to get to where he is today and he supported and still does his mother through all these years. We both share the same view on money and hard work. Nothing fell from the sky for us. I took a break from Modeling when I got pregnant (naturally) and was looking for another industry to get into-> nutrition. I can’t not work- I hate it. I need to contribute and make money- that’s what makes me happy. My videos about self love and motivation come from personal experience. I’m not saying everyone can relate to it but it’s not my job to worry about pleasing everyone- this is MY story. You can choose to get inspired or unsubscribe. Lots of love ❤️
It doesn't matter if she is rich or has a rich husand or what ever. Im sure She had to work hard to be on this point of her life. Of course valeria is in a privileged position but I think she knows that and she enjoys it.(wouldn't we all do this?) We should appreciate the things we have in our life and not be sorry for it. I can't compare my life to valerias life. So I m not in the position to judge her. Nor am I in the position to judge anybody. So I just want to say thank you for this video. Everyone had made the experience that their dream just won't come true. This is a hard thing for everyone. So thank you that you told us how you survive and learn from failure. Everyone carries a package of failure or selfdoubt or whatever it might be. Thank you that you are sharing your package with us. Keep going! you are a real inspiration. Lots of love from Germany:)
All the positive and inspiring people like you, who can also spread a great message of self love and self improvement, are always the perfect target for the people who don't believe in all these "good vibes things", neither they believe in themselves. They will always have excuses for their lives and don't want to understand that they have the power to change almost everything they don't like, because it's easier, because it's surrender. (And your life is not perfect just because you have a beautiful family and your problems are not less than any others'.)
I don't know much about modelling, but honestly VS does not even do you justice. Your look is much more editorial and eclectic and much more interesting, even if you're 5'7! Any way I wanted to tell you how much you've inspired me in the last year. I am a mom too and you're literally my go to inspiration wise, for everything! Thank you for all your hard work that you put into this amazing channel! ♡
Every success or failure has a purpose. And sometimes, a failure really isn't a failure. Most of the time, a failure is a blessing in disguise and it's leading us to something that is much greater than we imagine. Something that is suited for us much better in the long run. The problem is that, in the moment that we fail, it's hard to have that type of positive thinking. I think having patience to understand how things play out and seeing a failure as a blessing, is important too. But having patience is a different lesson in itself. Sometimes we can't control the things that happen to us, but we do have the responsibility and control of what our response is. This is what I have learned so far.
I really love these self love videos. please never stop doing it. it makes me feel inspired and less afraid of life. it makes me feel hope. thank u val ❤ thank u for doing this. u change lives.
If you ever read this , just know that I have never felt happier after watching such a video ! I myself feel so insecure about my height and body and pimples and dark circles and not only that but knowing that someone else had to cope with the stress of failing at something they are best at is just so heart warming ! All the people in the physical world around me tend to bring me down but for once when I see someone share their true story that admits failure and the way to recovery from it , I can't explain how happy I feel that someone feels the same way I do about their passion !
Like idk how to explain this feeling but thank you so much for this ! You made my day ! And just know that things always happen for yhe better ! Who knows, maybe the rejection from Victoria secret indirectly lead to greater happiness ! ❤️🐈
Something I've learnt from reading the comments; people can't wait to get angry at you for addressing something they can't relate to, as though that makes it any less important I failed an audition on the violin and the disappointment was crushing. I cried and drank a lot, and then picked myself up the next day and carried on practicing. Although I've never felt like the rejection was the end of everything, it is nice to see someone I personally look up to has gone through the same feelings and worked hard to get where they are 😊 ignore the haters, theyre miserable people and will always find something to gripe about You keep doing you, this viewer enjoys it ❤❤❤
you’re the older sister i never had. i have my med school interview in 15 days and this is my second one after being rejected 2 years ago. i came across my interview feedback from 2 years ago (again) while sorting my notes and started doubting myself... the feedback was so bad, i feel so little compared to my peers. for some reason while reading my feedback again i started to think that i’m this same naïve person i was 2 years ago but in fact thats not true. i’m still not amazing but i’ve learnt so much from that failure that i should stop doubting myself and be happy that i got back up after my failure and kept trying. i studied hard this past 2 years, had many ups and downs and learnt so much. i’d be lying if i said i dont care what the outcome is since i came out a better person in the end, but even then, if i receive yet another rejection then i can just keep trying. thank you valeria for this.. i was crying and feeling depressed and now i feel much better.
I just came back from an international speech and debate conference, where my partner and I won first place for duet acting. After traveling for hours, performing 5 times, getting through semifinals and finals we got disqualified. Disqualified when we got 89/90 points, actually did win first place, poured our heart and soul into it, and should’ve gotten the first place trophy. We got disqualified because we took a hairband out of my hair and that was against the rules: there were supposed to be no props allowed and the hairband counted as one. It felt like a complete failure, because we didn’t know who to blame, couldn’t blame others and couldn’t blame ourselves either. But it’s time to bounce back :)
It is so frustrating when you keep trying and the results are: you are the worst in your class, yet you're the only one who wants to do physics in the future. Thank you so much, I was going through a tough time, your videos always come at the right time. Also, I saw a very relevant comment below: being a Victoria Secrets' model doesn't change the fact that you are our -your community's- beautiful human role model. Love you thank you once again 😘
Thank you for opening up and sharing this with us :) It is not an easy task to reveal your failures and past insecurities like this. It reminded me to cheer for myself and to focus on positivity and on moving forward, and to not let my insecurities eat me alive 😂 Much love to you! ♥️
Thank you so much for sharing!!!At 39 years old,with a lot of experience in my field,i'm facing exactly that,unemployed...this video was an inspiration to not give up,to fight,again and again,as always you are amazing!!!!
The comment section sadly shows that a lot of people lack empathy and feel the need to bash things just because they are not privilleged and feel that life is unfair to them (been there done that). We don’t know Valeria a 100%, we don’t know what and if she had to go through anything to say that she only has 1st world problems. She might be lucky she is a beautiful woman but the rest she had to work for, or maybe she was lucky who knows. That‘s life! Her being beautiful, having a great family etc. does not take away a piece of our happiness. I get it, there was a voice in my head that said, „easy for you to say“ but I say no to this voice because this gets us nowhere. The message is: not getting what you really want helps you learn! And why would anyone disagree with that? Depending on where you live, where you‘re from you have a number of choices to make. But saying „can‘t, won‘t, too hard“ will get you nowhere. Do the best you can. If you do, great! Don’t compare yourself with completely different people. Compare yourself to your yesterday: is it better? Are you proud? Yes? Continue!
it's not about money, guys. it's about your confidence and lessons which you learn from your experience and turn them into a successful story. you can't get that for money.nope, not that easy. you have to work on yourself, analising everything. thank you, Valeria, for everyday inspiration ❤
Thank you so much. I needed this. I did have this phase of my life which I ALMOST had what I have put all of my heart, passion, energy, money on for the previous 10 years. And it slept through my fingers. Now, 4 years later, sometimes I find myself making the same mistakes from the past. And somehow I need to put in mind that I must change my attitude and correct my mistakes so I can achieve other dreams.
Shreya puthran it was not their fault. This was an example of how sometimes we sabotage our own progress because we’re not confident and secure with ourselves. That’s the message of this video :)
I love how you've turned your disappointments in life into a testament. Thank you for sharing it to the world. I think it's time for me to embrace failure as well. It's time for me to put a mirror in front of me. So, I can grow to be better and better. And, one day, I will also do my life's purpose and serve others through my passion. Please continue to shine positivity to the world! We need more people like you 💖
I don’t usually comment on videos but felt compelled to in this case; you are on the life trajectory that you are supposed to be on. I’m inspired to hear that you didn’t let this “failure” stop you from moving forward in life.
I'm from Serbia,last year I went to America just for Victoria Secret unfortinatlly I also was rejected...Guess we have to try harder next time...Thank you for sharing your story....💙💛💜💚❤
These videos you record make me emotional. They're so deep!!! I haven't encountered anyone else that explains life lessons so beautifully. 😭 thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experiences with us.
Thank you for sharing this story! I am sorry that people have tried to undermine your struggles and make them seem unimportant compared to theirs. You just aim to inspire all women with your stories and advice and I am grateful for that. And to people writing negative comments: if Valeria's stories don't inspire you, know that they do inspire many women like me and she should not be shamed for that, but encouraged.
A really inspiring video to watch! I will graduate next year and I'm currently applying for jobs. Receiving the first rejection from a company was hard. However since then I have realised that this job wouldn't have been my dream job. So as you said with failure comes learning. Now I feel much more confident in my choice on what I want to do for a living. Sometimes you just have to fail first even if it is heartbreaking at the time. Would love to see more videos like this xxx
Whoever is reading this, You are beautiful, know that and believe that. I auditioned just once for modeling when I was around 14, I wasn’t too glammed up or anything, I just wore what represented me, and I got rejected, but now I think, why did I spend my time crying for people who didn’t accept me for who I was. Today I’m so proud to not be apart of something that hurt my confidence so much. I’m glad I’m not apart of this “industry” because I have learned that I work better behind the scenes. So at the end of the day. Stay true, and Stay you.💕
The comment section is pissing me off. Life is not fair. Some have it better, some have it worse, but that is life. You cannot just tell someone their problems are trivial or not as important as other people’s. We all live and experience things differently, some of us are lucky, some of us aren’t. But Valeria is always optimistic and tries to push everyone to be the best version of themselves and that is what you should be focusing on, she is sharing something personal and even when people are entitled to their own opinion, it’s not fair to imply that some people have it worse. It’s like saying: “why are you happy? A lot of people have it better”. You gotta see the bigger picture here. And the fact that she is beautiful, has money and is privileged does not mean she is not human. Humans experience rejection, fear, happiness, joy, sadness, despair, etc. We are all human and despite our situation, we feel negative and positive emotions. Stop bitching about having to work harder, instead, try to motivate yourself to do better. Do you have to work twice as hard? Tough cookies, you suck it up and put one foot in front of the other and give it all you’ve got. Go the extra mile, be all you can be. Don’t discourage yourself by thinking your current situation is gonna stay that way forever, everything starts with a mindset. A lot of successful people come from nothing, and a lot of privileged people end up doing nothing with their lives. It’s all about challenging yourself and working hard because at the end of the day it will be worth it.
I've been a full time model now for a few years and I think I've started to realise this year exactly how you felt. It's not bettering my life (apart from the money) and I've definitely found it so hard to accept that 1) I was never as successful as I hoped I'd be in the industry and 2) that now I'm going to have to find something that I can happily do for the rest of my life after only ever aiming to be a model. I needed this encouragement Valeria. Thank you
I love that you picked yourself up even though you were very upset. I think more opportunities will come as long as you keep learning from your experiences. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing Valeria. You're very brave. It's so hard to admit failure, but you didn't just admit it but learnt from it..you're an inspiration xx
plus it's really their loss they rejected u. honestly, u are an amazing human being with a gorgeous body and heart and u could perfectly rule on Victoria secrets. however, I'm very glad and proud u took something good from it. I understand so much the feeling u felt. I feel that everyday bc I constantly feel I'm failing at school and then I end up actually failing bc of my lack of confidence and self comparation bc to me everyone else is so smart and I seem to be doing everything wrong and I really need to be excellent to get into the uni I want and ugh I know that the fact that I don't have inner strength, neither self confidence affects my performance at school 100000%. however, no matter how much I say I'm gonna do different, I end up giving up, feeling a failure, bc I don't believe in myself and I seem to never be smart or good enough. do u have any tips how I can strength my inner self and stop comparing and be motivated to fight for what I want in life? the fact that I'm battling depression also affects it but u know i wanna do better but it's really hard bc life scares me so so so so much. it terrifies me and gives me so much anxiety bc I don't think I can get through it. thank u so much for being on RUclips ♡ I'm so so grateful. u are amazing. never doubt that
She doesn't need to be in VS to be an angel ❤
This
So many women bashing this woman because she doesn’t know “real” struggles apparently. It’s really sad that a person can’t struggle because her obstacles are invalidated by other people’s personal standards.
Lorena Estrella people don't get that struggle come in many forms, it's not just cancer or being poor
maybe, just maybe if people learned to REALLY LISTEN to others, and also if there was such thing as constitutional right to stay alive at the end of a schoolday instead of that for carrying guns, there wouldn't be such tragic things happening. you have clearly NOT LISTENED to the lesson (a very universal, spiritual, and extremely useful one) because you got so hung up on the fact that her career was in modelling. what i hear from your comment is that you are very judgmental of life choices of others, you are quick to not hear someone's suffering because it doesn't jazz with your standards (are you doing something really important that betters the world, btw ? if you're not, it's ok, but don't be too harsh on others, please.), a whole lot of bitterness (or jealousy, maybe), and shamefully misusing a truly tragic event to atempt and bring several people down who were trying to be uplifting and to share the tools that can help motivate people and give them strength to achieve whatever it is that they happen to care for. the question is : why are you behaving like this ? (it's a question for you to answer to yourself, i happen to not care, but maybe it can help you.)
Eva Bernard why you hating on other person successful life?
As I know she’s been working since 16 years old.
Hating someone is not going to bring you up, it’s opposite it will make you miserable. Think how you could change yourself and first step is to love yourself and love others!
@Eva Bernard so working as a model from 16 onwards and even after giving birth to 2 kids doesnt count as working hard in modeling?pfff not too mention her youtube chanel and other business ventures....you are either very stupid or very envyous....probably both...they said the same thingh in Brazil about Adriana Lima you are nothingh special here but look at her now.....
@Eva Bernard You’re ignorant and judgmental as hell. Her mom left Russia aged 21 as a single mother with a 2 year old daughter (Valeria) to go live in a foreign country where she had no connections, nothing. She built herself up from nothing. Valeria had a very modest upbringing and worked hard to get where she is today. So what if she married an older man? That’s her business and not yours.
Get some perspective and some humility.
The hate comments on this video are a perfect example of "you're not allowed to be sad because someone has it harder than you" or "you can't be tired after working 6 hours because another person worked 8." This is a very insecure mindset to have that does in fact come from jealousy and lack of empathy. No one tells people they can't be happy because someone else has it better. Anyone can have struggles.
SongRainbows this!
The hate I witness towards models is disgusting, every job requires hard work. Modeling is not easy like people think, and the money isn't great unless you're a super model.
I dunno...I know where you're coming from but when feel sad / rejected / defeated by life I always tell myself that I have it easier than most people in the world (I'm Aussie - if you're middle class in a country like Canada, US, UK, Western Europe, Australia you're lucky) and my issues must seem trivial to many people out there. It works to snap myself out of a depression. When I complain about working 9-10 hours a day in my comfortable, well-paying office job, I feel like an idiot
Maria G I understand that but sometimes that doesn’t help it hurts more. For example depression doesn’t care what life you have,how hard you work,or what race you are,or where you come from or how much money you have.Depression can be for any and everyone
Maria G also anxiety can play a part. I unfortunately have it and it’s different types but i know how mines work and I can scream all day for my mind to shut up but it doesn’t I can say well people have it harder but then my anxiety twist it and say I’m selfish and I have no reason to be sad or depressed I’m stupid for it. But I understand where you come from because it helps some people . But what some people are saying to her aren’t helpful and encouraging words but hate and disgusting negativity.and that should never be acceptable
My ‘big moment’ that I totally blew was my Cambridge university interview for their medical school - cried for 2 days afterwards I could tell from each interviewers face they were like no who is this girl. I let my insecurities get to me, I didn’t feel these people were my world both my parents are unemployed my answers were blank even though I had been studying for months but it taught me so much now in hindsight: and failure is never the end of the world, only a lesson
jamima macdonald ... Best of luck for future dear 😘
DEVJANI KANJI thank you! I’m 4 years into my degree now and loving it so much I’m glad where I ended up :)
This is exactly what im talking about! We all often times our own enemy by not believing in ourselves! Thank you for sharing your experience, im happy to hear you turned around and made it into a lesson rather than a negetive turn in your life! Lots of love to you
Oh, wow.. that's great.. Congrats.. that means you are a true warrior.. stay blessed ❤

It's Victoria's Secret's loss
Sim Khok Yee no it is not. That is how many people react to failure, to protect themselves. If you're not accepted to your dream school, it's them who did not recognise your genius, if you are rejected by a guy or girl you like it's their fault for not seeing how amazing you are. No it is not, you didn't show them because things don't always work out as planned, and I realise in life the more excited I am about something and the more I want to impress, the more I mess up, just like she did. It doesnt mean that I dont KNOW that I can do way better than that, its just that in the situation I couldnt get myself to. And thats sad and fucking dissapointing but it's not the end of the world and it's not other people's fault
It's no one's loss.
Gloria Holly uh its not your fault for not showing them it's their fault for not trying to get you to show them. If someones not interested in getting to know you then it IS their loss because 1 day you could be some rich successful man/woman you just never know
Edit: and 9 times out of 10 they end up regretting it. But Carly is also right. It sometimes isn't anybodies fault.
Gloria Holly if it was a loss for Victorias Secret then they would have taken her. But shes cute anyway
Tali Mercury vs angel sara sampaio is 5”7 as well
"the world falls in love with determination"
♥️🙏🏻
Valeria it was so brave of you to share your story, it's never easy to be open about a vulnerable moment in your life and I 100% believe the universe works in mysterious ways. Here on RUclips you're impacting others in a huge way and you're shining like a star in a massive way!! 💘💘💁💁 Go Girl!!!
Ask Kimberly hiiiiii Kimberly!!!!! You give really good advice 💛😍
Hiiii Kimberly, I love all your videos so much, you have given me such confidence in myself ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Kimberly❤❤❤❤
Hi ask Kimberly! !!!!!!!!
hi kim!! love u lots xx
Going through the comments and thinking.. Valeria shares her experience to send a positive message but God damn it, there’s so many people out there who are just so negative and take it to a whole another level..
so depressing, people are cunts
I love the way you think. Sometimes we have to fall apart before getting stronger. Pray for someone out there who never experienced failure but always got the opportunities to do something all the damn time.
Nene Can Ch
thanks for sharing your personal story 💕
i'm happy she shared with us too!
But girl.. it was on you. Now you're stonger, prettier and more confident! Why don't you give it another try?
I have bigger better accomplishments to conquer :)
Valeria Lipovetsky 😍😍😍
😍😍😍😍
imho this brand is satanic anyway.
shes no prettier stop lying
what is victoria secret when I only know Valeria Lipovetsky lol. My superwoman. My motivator.
When you share your experiences, I sort of think of my situation and it becomes so relatable and actually, you made me realize a lot of things in general. And I'm glad that the universe brought me to know you.
+Onyx Fire just because she's beautiful and young doesn't mean she's with him for the money lmao they've addressed this before
Onyx Fire WOW........who hurt you???
I got rejected from a casting call that happened last night 😫 ah your timing is perfect . Thank you for this ❤️
For all those who are posting negative comments, i dare you to make a you tube channel and share a video on- Your worst failure,and i hope at that moment of recording it in front of camera you will realize how difficult it is to not be ashamed of your failures and hit that upload button.
I feel that the fact that she is brave enough to post this shows she actually grows and learns from her failure and is able to get past it
Thank you!
People like you make me want to believe in humanity again.
In Germany we have an idiom: "kicking someone who is already laying on the ground"
That's mostly what's happening here and I don't get it, really.
For me personally this was a very inspiring video
pixiee Zakura awwwww!people like you make me happy cus i realise that there r still a lot of people around d world who think like me.💋💙
right♡
That's true.. they will all run off...
I literally cannot believe some people having this obsessive need to bring something so negative and out of context into a video full of positive and wise messages. Hope the “win spirit” overweighs the “excuses spirit” and those who don’t believe in own success will get there eventually.
Please do a ' How To Learn From Failure' with your mother. I still want to hear more about her story :) Love you!!
I just want to travel back in time,give Valeria a
hug at that moment and tell her she is beautiful...
More better opportunities are on your way..
haters gonna hate..keep inspiring us valeria :) i'm from a third world country and i don't feel any bitterness in this "white girl with a rich husband" issue that they keep throwing at you to invalidate your struggles and failures. i also have my own struggles and watching an inspiring video,like from yours, helps me to keep moving forward in life :)
majie sy thank you my dear ❤️ you are an example of someone that will inspire people around them. Love the way you view things 🙏🏻
Sweet Valeria, You are so beautiful, and you have such a cute family! I am so glad I came across your channel! I love that you have natural beauty, and inward beauty! 💖 All the mean comments are most likely from jealousy... You are such an inspiration! Have a wonderful day Sweetie, and always remember that God loves You! Psalms 139:14 (KJV) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
I love you and all, but...it is much easier to "fail" when you are married to a rich guy and a white, attractive female model. Failing for an average woman usually isn't quite as enlightening, but just stressful and terrifying because we can't just move on to pay a fortune to study nutrition or start a youtube channel. We have to work to pay our bills!
Its Not about that! Its leading about failure! And she Said she was Not married and Had No Kids when she booked VS
Failing is never easy no matter your skin colour, married or divorced. Don't let yourself be discouraged with excuses. YOU can grow and learn lessons and better yourself from every experience. The attitude in your comment is not one of a winner- its one of defeat. That will get you nowhere. We all have our struggles (small and big) but There are 287463756346549365 examples of successful people from all walks of life that made it! Oprah is a perfect example- look her story up. Please don't live your life filling your mind with thoughts such as "I cant do this because...." - YOU CAN. Best of luck to you
I can’t believe I’m supporting a hate msg but I AGREE WITH YOU!! We don’t have first world problems, we have REAL problems.
Valeria Lipovetsky hey.. you got some haters and i think that you are very popular to the point where you get haters no matter what positive message or good video you put out. Xoxo
Valeria Lipovetsky your response is trash, in that comment she was not making excuses she was stating facts as to how and why underprivileged, colored women have a lot less chances. As a privileged white women you will never understand this, so please never again speak on behalf of us colored women. Yes Oprah made it, you are correct, but she had to try 1000000x harder than a white women would have. Just a fact.
You are so inspiring Valeria
omg im about to cry, i had a similar experience once when i was i think 14 y/o i used to make tv commercials and i was filming one day and suddenly got my period and i was new to it so i wasn't prepared and so i got very distracted and i kept going to the bathroom for paper because i was very afraid to tell anyone and i was also in pain i clearly did a horrible job so they let me go and my self esteem just kind of disappeared i cried a lot and tried to forget it since then but seeing this makes me think about how much trauma i still have in me because i just like tried to erase that moment instead of learning from it
Omg that's it! That's my problem! It's the trauma that has built inside of me from all my failures, instead of letting them go and/or learning from them they torture me inside. But Valeria is right you have to learn from the mistakes. Time to change how I look at things.
Her life compared to ours is different; at least most of us can't literally relate to her experiences, because she has a different style of life. She was introduced to the modeling industry at a young age. According to her and her experience, this was a failure, a rejection. People shouldn't be feeling jealous. This is her life, her RUclips channel about her life. And I love you Valeria!
That was powerful, Valeria!
PS. That’s how you know you’re making it on RUclips, when the losers, haters and trolls come to throw dirt.
Welcome them. Let them comment away on your videos. It all contributes to engagement and channel growth ;)
Blue Vdm yes girl you know what’s up 😁😉❤️
Yes, it's sometimes hard to hear another person's struggles and if they don't seem as " bad" as yours it's easy to bash on them and invalidate what they've been though. HOWEVER I think a huge realization that I've had is that EVERYTHING we go through and experience is based on our own perception. To one person something might seem like the hardest thing in the world but to you it might seem like a no brainer. But that doesn't change what the other person is feeling. We all have challenges, we're all struggling in our own ways, and we all have different stories and purposes so it's up to you to make the best of what you got and not let excuses stand in your way. If you can't relate to someone then find someone else and don't bash the person. Any judgement is self judgement. Level of confidence and happiness is not determined from what your life looks like but how you feel and that's totally in your power to create. Thank you for sharing your experience Valeria! Xoxo
Omg valeria I just failed a physics exam and had the worst mark and then I found your video !you showed me how to face failure
Very inspiring, I went through the same failures in my younger years when I was looking for job, I kept finding myself unhired until one day I realized I was projecting an un confident person and just taking random job interviews. I narrowed down my favorite fields and really practiced talking to people more openly. Now I have an amazing job and I love everyday
I failed my job interview last week but i feel better now 🙏🏻thank you valeria for sharing your story 💜
I think people need to understand that some people’s priorities are not everyone’s priorities...yet whether big or small the weight priorities and failures have on each person’s life can be life changing in positive and negative ways. I am thankful for Valeria’s advice. 🙏🏻☺️
I'm at 5 min, but I just wanna say.. What *I* think happened, or why it HAD to happen - because this is it for you. I've been following you on here from the very start, and you blew up like crazy, I honestly can't remember right now if I know any other yt that is growing SO fast.
No shade to VS models, they're obv stunning, hard working women, but their job is - their beauty. That's what happened! Your job, your purspose is not your beauty. Tho you are pretty much one of the most beautiful women I know of, your strenght is your personality.
So thank God you didn't get a career as just a model who is walking and sitting pretty. Instead, you MADE yourself a career in which you share yourself and your character, and, I for one, am REALLY happy it happened the way it did.
H
Well said
she is still a successful model even if victoria secret didnt work out! model and youtuber and mom
Topics like this tend to be really cliche since it's talked about so much, but the fact that u use your example story and your personal growth from failure really allows me to understand and appreciate your message. Thank you. Love from China.
I totally understand I was all ready and prepared to go try out for this modelling agency, this was going to be my first time auditioning, and I was so terrified of what people would think of me and I was so scared of failure that I bunked out a few days before and now I really regret. This video has really helped me and I think I’m going to give it a shot!!! Love you Valeria!!!
Caroline Hartley Johnson how it went?
“Your a winner if you just keep trying”Valeria lipovetsky🥰
I really appreciate this kind of videos, because all people share their happiness but a few successful people talks about failure and how to overcome, I gonna say my currently failures, and hope come back to you and say that FINALLY I got a good position!
For last 2 months I'm applying for a PhD position, at first when I read an email that said no, I was devastated, and I couldn't work for couple hours and I was like this is the end of the WORLD, but now I'm like this,
1.Reading an email that says no: put whole files in "rejected folder"
2. Reading an email that offering me an interview: move whole files to "interview folder"
and keep working on my papers, and it became my "MY DAILY ROUTINE!"
HAHAHA
That's the spirit ;)
good work
fateme sadat Tabatabaei keep going you're not first one who's got rejecting in this world.
Thanks to your honesty
Valeria, I live in Nigeria (pretty sure it qualifies for Third World Country) and I'd just like to say: ignore the haters who keep attempting to bring up your race or good looks. Everyone fights their own battles, full stop. I'm not watching your videos to 100% relate to you. I don't think ANYONE can fully relate to you except yourself! I don't understand this white privilege thing at all. Not all white women are in the same boat. Some are disabled, plus sized, disfigured, have disabilities. Some just aren't model material. And even those who happen to be white, female and model material STILL cannot 100% relate to you because they may, compared to the struggle of your early life as an immigrant, have been in a place of "privilege" for being born in the U.S, some of them also born to already rich families (like Kendall, or etc). NO ONE should be watching this to relate 100% because everyone has their own life, setbacks and history which shapes them into who they are. Idk if I'm making sense. The point of this video was "DEALING WITH FAILURE", failure being the key point. The failure was someone working so hard to acheive a goal and not reaching it. This could be applicable to ANYTHING, like not getting into your dream college.
Faith exactly and somehow i see black women have more privellages and strong health
I totally agree !!! Very well said !!
Failure is just letter of our book of life.
What we need to do is just fill rest of our pages with challenge,success,failrue,and challenge again.
Or who would read others' life story unless all have same pages and pace of life and answers?
Thousands of books are here on the earth. And I definitely and gladly will read your book as always no matter how many failures you make, Valeria. Cuz your pages are full of inspirations I look for.
The thing I found extraordinary of your book is, your pages are full of 'Do what I craved and learn from days' not letting those failure letters make your book to end there. Love you. Cheer up.
Failure is experience itself not a mistake.
First big failure can feel devestating. I know it only happens when you dare to reach further than you know. And it's so so important to keep doing that, to not lose faith in yourself just because you failed.
This video felt so raw and real - you don't often get to see this side of success. Thank you for this! xoxo
Thank you so much for watching
Almost first!
Gary Lipovetsky OH HI GARY! 🙌🏻
Hahaha I love you booth sooo muuuch hhahahaha :)
Gary Lipovetsky 👏👏👏
what a husband
Hi Gary!😂
I totally relate to being soo close to your dream and everything falling through. My dream is to be a software engineer at Google and somehow I was recruited for an interview after my junior year of college for their summer internship. I didn't apply because I didn't think I would get it but they came to me and I was freaking out, I studied so hard for it but when it came time for the interview I just froze, forgot everything I knew, and all my insecurities came crashing down at this one moment and I completely blew it. I was so close, but I've learned from that experience so that's important.
Your face is an angel itself
This is the first time I see one NOT blaming his/her failure on something external AT ALL. All she talked about the VS team was how nice they treated her. Didn’t even complain anything about the modeling industry which many girl models felt rough with.
Aren’t you amazing
Thank you for being so honest wow you're so inspiring I love how you never let this incident phase you even though you said you cried for days, you're so strong & dope, stay poppin' boo (':
I really don't understand the negative comments on this video. Valeria, you are the most genuine RUclipsr I follow/subcribe to. I admire that you try to incite inspiration and relate to your viewers. You have true grace in the way you take the time to respond to your viewers and reply with kindness. Everyone has their failures. Sharing and talking about our personal experiences should serve to breed more understanding and compassion for one another. Diversity not only exists in race, ethnicity, and creed but also in experience and point of view. Thank you for sharing your failures and what you've learned. We all have room to grow. ❤
You lost one chance, one opportunity, but have u ever thought about what ur life would be if u got that one chance? Failure is the only way for someone to succeed, not everyone gets what they want from the first shot, it always happens after many many tries. Now that you didn’t get accepted, You moved on with life, ur life progressed. You have a job, a family, and many viewers that support you in what you do!So you should really be happy that you have a family now that will see you as their role model but not only them us too! And that’s life after-all, this is how it goes XD I’m so happy for you Valeria, i hope you keep doing what you do and most importantly believe in yourself!❤️ xxx
I’m a girl from Turkey who is an actress and used to be rejected lots of times, still waiting for that one big opportunity. Being an artist or being passionate about what you’re bringing to the world what makes you aware of yourself as a human and then you become determined i think.So i watched your video with tears in my eyes.You helped me very much.Thank you for inspiration💖
Oya Unustası you are the most beautiful turk people that I've seen. Don't give up. God bless you from 🇧🇷❤️
Raíssa thank you for your kindness, you made my day 🌺 sending love from Turkey 😊
Oya Unustası sen çok güzel❤️❤️
Isra Fatima thank you so much 🌺😊🙏🏻

Whenever I watch your videos I feel so inspired to be my best self no matter what that is in the moment!!! Thank you Valeria ❤️
This happens to so many of us. Sometimes lack of confidence comes from things we went through in our childhood or things we have experienced.
You are so beautiful, kind and smart... You are everything. And you must remember that.
You are so mature for your age. Rejection is really hurt. I have been rejected many times through out my life and it is still painful but time heal me. Along with it I have realized it was just a life experience that taught me something everytime. I have failed at job interview at the last stage. I passed all the first written test and psychology but not last one to one interview because I was really unprepared and unexperience and too nervous. That failure and rejection remind me next time to learn more and prepare more about why I want to work at ‘that’ company and why I apply ‘that’ position. Failed at relationship remind me what I need to change about myself to become a better me. And so on. Yes, I agree failure is a stepping stone for all of us:) Keep it up Valeria💃🏼
she's nearing 30 isn't she?
meg chapman yes, she’s 27 I believe but sometimes I forgot and think she is still in early 20’s:) anyway I still consider her very mature in her 27 by uplifting other through her experience. It is just my personal opinion:)
I also went through my failure moment about 2 years ago, I was so scared to even talk about it, even with myself, I felt like I seriously messed up my life, but now looking back that decision just pointed me into a much wider and brighter direction in my life. everyone go through failure in life in some ways, what i find most difficult is not the failure itself but the courage to face it or reveal what exactly happened, it is very brave of you to share this. Thank you !!! Keep being you xxx : )
I wouldn't call not getting VS a failure. VS has VERY specific body types and only a few spots and a million applicants. Just because you didnt get it doesnt mean you're not an amazing model or even that you dont fit their standards
How can people say this girl isn't pretty? Of course she's pretty, and she feels herself pretty. Respect, please.
Thank you so much, Valeria! You're one of the very few people that REALLY care about their subscribers! I feel like you make these videos for US, really us, not to get views! And I appreciate that. Much love from Portugal!
I’m so glad I watched this today. We’ve all hit a wall one day and it takes us by surprise. It’s usually because we are at a turning point. Not everything is for everyone.
thank you! I feel your story and it's really motivational, it's great that you are encouraging people to try and persist and be strong, I appreciate and it makes me feel better, thank you, you are one of my favorite people on the internet, lots of love for you!
Thank you this is exactly what I needed! After 2 job promotion rejections and after so many failed relationships and friendships... If you keep moving on and learning from your mistakes things can only get better and improve. Just because you hit a wall that doesn't mean we cannot walk around it, it takes longer but the rewards can be so much greater! You are my Sunday inspiration. I love your videos!
Honestly, you are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen - from your looks to your personality, I admire you so much. I want to be like you someday (minus the modelling career 😂 lol).I'm already 16 and I'm neither pretty nor sexy, not even tall, but I think my intelligence and passion for writing is something worth celebrating about. And I have learned to accept these things about me because of you and your inspirational videos Valeria,so thank you very much ❤ love from the Philippines
"You're a winner when you just keep trying, because a lot of times things don't happen the first time, or the second time, or the third time... but if you're determined, the world falls in love with (your) determination..." I needed to hear this! That is encouraging, because I have been learning from my failures and growing a lot from it in this season of my life. I'm a winner, cause I don't give up... even when I feel like I suck. haha! Thank you, girl!
I love your attitude
THANK YOU for creating this video. I blew a job interview for my dream company last year. Initially, I couldn't even fathom they'd give my resume the time of day. I'm still kicking myself for it now, and keep thinking why the hell couldn't I be my usual confident self at the time. Just hearing you share your story and words of encouragement really made my day.
You started your career since 16. Meanwhile, im almost 17 struggling with school everyday without knowing what Im learning😂😂
VALERIA LIKED ASDNJSVNJNJFFJJ
Mee too😂😂
MOOD
Practice is so important, I made the mistake of not practicing my walk and poses when I was signed with my first agency and I barley booked anything. I never booked editorial, only promo and background modeling and one runway. Now that I'm in my late 20s I've been practicing and I can't wait to get back into it and see where the hard work gets me.
Hey Valeria thank you for sharing this experience with us, its truly very interesting and something we don't hear everyday. After following your channel for a really long time and watching literally every single video of yours I can't seem to shake this thought out of my head every time I watch your "inspirational/self love" videos, and judging by the comments obviously I'm not alone here. I appreciate that you're sending positive energy through your videos but it seems only like a means to gain subscriber loyalty and empathy to your character. I believe as you mentioned at the age of 19, you have the support of a man dripping in wealth to support you while you go after YOUR dreams. And from what it seems modelling isn't a full time career or at least you're not getting enough jobs that amount to a significant income and so the income mostly from your husband. So let's face it because it's the truth and most of us that are NOT young teens can grasp this that you are, since you were young, very advantaged mainly because of the financial support provided from your husband. And hey! this is great and I'm certainly not judging however don't act like you have gone through the worst of life and rose from ashes of poverty to achieve what you have today, Nope you've had a lot of "help" to get to where you today. So pls don't use "inspiration videos" as a manipulative way because I know how many girls can watch these videos and think wow this girl gets us, she's a true rags to riches. Maybe your mom is but I highly doubt you are.
Ps I know this comment will may get bashed but all I want to say to some young girls watching this is please listen to those in your life that loves you and take with a grain of salt those ppl on the Internet because you don't know for sure if what they're saying is true and the motive behind their videos. Maybe they're really trying to reach out to young girls or they're just trying to grow their channel by reaching out to young girls so they'll get more sponsors and this may become a means to support themselves and get on extravagant trips with big brands. Behind everything Valeria SAYS is something very objective, she's been married at an young age to a much older rich businessmen WHILE pursuing her dreams. Not many of us will live this way of life, so be realistic, don't put your faith in other people especially ppl you don't fully know. Believe in yourself and one day when you've achieved it in life whether it be financially or emotionally you'll realize these young beautiful girls that married rich old guys, their biggest insecurity is they took a short cut in life (not that they didn't work at all) and that's why they want you to believe they worked hard, went through the unbearable. What people talk about the most is usually where their insecurities are.
Lychee Bobo thank you for watching and for your input. I usually don’t comment on comments like yours but I also understand you can’t possibly know my past so I wanted to shed some light. I started working at the age of 15 and help my mother to support our family, luckily i had the opportunity to work as a model but let me assure you that if it wasn’t Modeling it would have been anything else because for me the goal was to make money and help my family. By no means I’m saying we lived on the street but money was always a struggle. I started working and making money and supported myself this whole time, I put money aside, sent it home to my mom when I was abroad and kept working- it was my FULL TIME JOB while still studying and finishing high school remotely. I met Gary at 20 years old- still financially independent. Gary came from poverty and his first job was at McDonald’s when he was 14. He worked his ass off to get to where he is today and he supported and still does his mother through all these years. We both share the same view on money and hard work. Nothing fell from the sky for us. I took a break from Modeling when I got pregnant (naturally) and was looking for another industry to get into-> nutrition. I can’t not work- I hate it. I need to contribute and make money- that’s what makes me happy. My videos about self love and motivation come from personal experience. I’m not saying everyone can relate to it but it’s not my job to worry about pleasing everyone- this is MY story. You can choose to get inspired or unsubscribe. Lots of love ❤️
Am I the only one who’s mesmerized by the way she talks? 😄 Valeria you brave soul. Keep believing in yourself!
It doesn't matter if she is rich or has a rich husand or what ever. Im sure She had to work hard to be on this point of her life. Of course valeria is in a privileged position but I think she knows that and she enjoys it.(wouldn't we all do this?) We should appreciate the things we have in our life and not be sorry for it. I can't compare my life to valerias life. So I m not in the position to judge her. Nor am I in the position to judge anybody. So I just want to say thank you for this video. Everyone had made the experience that their dream just won't come true. This is a hard thing for everyone. So thank you that you told us how you survive and learn from failure. Everyone carries a package of failure or selfdoubt or whatever it might be. Thank you that you are sharing your package with us. Keep going! you are a real inspiration.
Lots of love from Germany:)
All the positive and inspiring people like you, who can also spread a great message of self love and self improvement, are always the perfect target for the people who don't believe in all these "good vibes things", neither they believe in themselves. They will always have excuses for their lives and don't want to understand that they have the power to change almost everything they don't like, because it's easier, because it's surrender. (And your life is not perfect just because you have a beautiful family and your problems are not less than any others'.)
I can't believe how many people say bad things about you. I am so glad for every video you share ❤️ especially with your 2 little 😇
I don't know much about modelling, but honestly VS does not even do you justice. Your look is much more editorial and eclectic and much more interesting, even if you're 5'7! Any way I wanted to tell you how much you've inspired me in the last year. I am a mom too and you're literally my go to inspiration wise, for everything! Thank you for all your hard work that you put into this amazing channel! ♡
I’ve been addicted in watching your videos. You are so honest, you have such a fun personality and so inspiring! Ly❤️❤️
Every success or failure has a purpose. And sometimes, a failure really isn't a failure. Most of the time, a failure is a blessing in disguise and it's leading us to something that is much greater than we imagine. Something that is suited for us much better in the long run. The problem is that, in the moment that we fail, it's hard to have that type of positive thinking. I think having patience to understand how things play out and seeing a failure as a blessing, is important too. But having patience is a different lesson in itself. Sometimes we can't control the things that happen to us, but we do have the responsibility and control of what our response is. This is what I have learned so far.
I really love these self love videos. please never stop doing it. it makes me feel inspired and less afraid of life. it makes me feel hope. thank u val ❤ thank u for doing this. u change lives.
If you ever read this , just know that I have never felt happier after watching such a video ! I myself feel so insecure about my height and body and pimples and dark circles and not only that but knowing that someone else had to cope with the stress of failing at something they are best at is just so heart warming ! All the people in the physical world around me tend to bring me down but for once when I see someone share their true story that admits failure and the way to recovery from it , I can't explain how happy I feel that someone feels the same way I do about their passion !
Like idk how to explain this feeling but thank you so much for this ! You made my day ! And just know that things always happen for yhe better ! Who knows, maybe the rejection from Victoria secret indirectly lead to greater happiness ! ❤️🐈
Something I've learnt from reading the comments; people can't wait to get angry at you for addressing something they can't relate to, as though that makes it any less important
I failed an audition on the violin and the disappointment was crushing. I cried and drank a lot, and then picked myself up the next day and carried on practicing. Although I've never felt like the rejection was the end of everything, it is nice to see someone I personally look up to has gone through the same feelings and worked hard to get where they are 😊 ignore the haters, theyre miserable people and will always find something to gripe about
You keep doing you, this viewer enjoys it ❤❤❤
you’re the older sister i never had. i have my med school interview in 15 days and this is my second one after being rejected 2 years ago. i came across my interview feedback from 2 years ago (again) while sorting my notes and started doubting myself... the feedback was so bad, i feel so little compared to my peers. for some reason while reading my feedback again i started to think that i’m this same naïve person i was 2 years ago but in fact thats not true. i’m still not amazing but i’ve learnt so much from that failure that i should stop doubting myself and be happy that i got back up after my failure and kept trying. i studied hard this past 2 years, had many ups and downs and learnt so much. i’d be lying if i said i dont care what the outcome is since i came out a better person in the end, but even then, if i receive yet another rejection then i can just keep trying. thank you valeria for this.. i was crying and feeling depressed and now i feel much better.
I just came back from an international speech and debate conference, where my partner and I won first place for duet acting. After traveling for hours, performing 5 times, getting through semifinals and finals we got disqualified. Disqualified when we got 89/90 points, actually did win first place, poured our heart and soul into it, and should’ve gotten the first place trophy. We got disqualified because we took a hairband out of my hair and that was against the rules: there were supposed to be no props allowed and the hairband counted as one. It felt like a complete failure, because we didn’t know who to blame, couldn’t blame others and couldn’t blame ourselves either. But it’s time to bounce back :)
It is so frustrating when you keep trying and the results are: you are the worst in your class, yet you're the only one who wants to do physics in the future. Thank you so much, I was going through a tough time, your videos always come at the right time. Also, I saw a very relevant comment below: being a Victoria Secrets' model doesn't change the fact that you are our -your community's- beautiful human role model. Love you thank you once again 😘
5,7 omg, what can I be when I'm only about 5,2 😂. Still you are such a inspiration forgive my bad english 💕
I'm a 5....
How meters is 5.7
Me too😂
Im shorter and im 15 daaamnn
I‘m 26 and am 5‘3 🥲
Thank you for opening up and sharing this with us :) It is not an easy task to reveal your failures and past insecurities like this. It reminded me to cheer for myself and to focus on positivity and on moving forward, and to not let my insecurities eat me alive 😂 Much love to you! ♥️
Because stars can't shine without darkness 🌌💖
Thank you so much for sharing!!!At 39 years old,with a lot of experience in my field,i'm facing exactly that,unemployed...this video was an inspiration to not give up,to fight,again and again,as always you are amazing!!!!
The comment section sadly shows that a lot of people lack empathy and feel the need to bash things just because they are not privilleged and feel that life is unfair to them (been there done that). We don’t know Valeria a 100%, we don’t know what and if she had to go through anything to say that she only has 1st world problems. She might be lucky she is a beautiful woman but the rest she had to work for, or maybe she was lucky who knows. That‘s life! Her being beautiful, having a great family etc. does not take away a piece of our happiness. I get it, there was a voice in my head that said, „easy for you to say“ but I say no to this voice because this gets us nowhere. The message is: not getting what you really want helps you learn! And why would anyone disagree with that? Depending on where you live, where you‘re from you have a number of choices to make. But saying „can‘t, won‘t, too hard“ will get you nowhere. Do the best you can. If you do, great! Don’t compare yourself with completely different people. Compare yourself to your yesterday: is it better? Are you proud? Yes? Continue!
it's not about money, guys. it's about your confidence and lessons which you learn from your experience and turn them into a successful story. you can't get that for money.nope, not that easy. you have to work on yourself, analising everything. thank you, Valeria, for everyday inspiration ❤
I can really use this topic right now, thank you SO MUCH Valeria 💕
Thank you so much. I needed this. I did have this phase of my life which I ALMOST had what I have put all of my heart, passion, energy, money on for the previous 10 years. And it slept through my fingers. Now, 4 years later, sometimes I find myself making the same mistakes from the past. And somehow I need to put in mind that I must change my attitude and correct my mistakes so I can achieve other dreams.
Hey Valeria I m soo happy that u did not let this get to you........seriously what is wrong with VS?!
Shreya puthran it was not their fault. This was an example of how sometimes we sabotage our own progress because we’re not confident and secure with ourselves. That’s the message of this video :)
Valeria Lipovetsky ya well in a way its true but seriously you would have been a good angel :).
im sure they have to let plenty of amazingly pretty girls go, they cant have everyone even if they want to
I love how you've turned your disappointments in life into a testament. Thank you for sharing it to the world.
I think it's time for me to embrace failure as well. It's time for me to put a mirror in front of me. So, I can grow to be better and better. And, one day, I will also do my life's purpose and serve others through my passion.
Please continue to shine positivity to the world! We need more people like you 💖
Everything happened for a reason. If you ‘fail’ at something it’s reasons way of saying ‘not yet’ ‘it’s not for you’ or ‘I’ve got something better’ 💓
I don’t usually comment on videos but felt compelled to in this case; you are on the life trajectory that you are supposed to be on. I’m inspired to hear that you didn’t let this “failure” stop you from moving forward in life.
I'm from Serbia,last year I went to America just for Victoria Secret unfortinatlly I also was rejected...Guess we have to try harder next time...Thank you for sharing your story....💙💛💜💚❤
Koliko godina imas?
These videos you record make me emotional. They're so deep!!! I haven't encountered anyone else that explains life lessons so beautifully. 😭 thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experiences with us.
I just love your energy and how humble you are! Love from Croatia❤
Thank you for sharing this story! I am sorry that people have tried to undermine your struggles and make them seem unimportant compared to theirs. You just aim to inspire all women with your stories and advice and I am grateful for that. And to people writing negative comments: if Valeria's stories don't inspire you, know that they do inspire many women like me and she should not be shamed for that, but encouraged.
A really inspiring video to watch! I will graduate next year and I'm currently applying for jobs. Receiving the first rejection from a company was hard. However since then I have realised that this job wouldn't have been my dream job. So as you said with failure comes learning. Now I feel much more confident in my choice on what I want to do for a living. Sometimes you just have to fail first even if it is heartbreaking at the time. Would love to see more videos like this xxx
Whoever is reading this, You are beautiful, know that and believe that.
I auditioned just once for modeling when I was around 14, I wasn’t too glammed up or anything, I just wore what represented me, and I got rejected, but now I think, why did I spend my time crying for people who didn’t accept me for who I was. Today I’m so proud to not be apart of something that hurt my confidence so much. I’m glad I’m not apart of this “industry” because I have learned that I work better behind the scenes. So at the end of the day. Stay true, and Stay you.💕
The comment section is pissing me off. Life is not fair. Some have it better, some have it worse, but that is life. You cannot just tell someone their problems are trivial or not as important as other people’s. We all live and experience things differently, some of us are lucky, some of us aren’t. But Valeria is always optimistic and tries to push everyone to be the best version of themselves and that is what you should be focusing on, she is sharing something personal and even when people are entitled to their own opinion, it’s not fair to imply that some people have it worse. It’s like saying: “why are you happy? A lot of people have it better”. You gotta see the bigger picture here. And the fact that she is beautiful, has money and is privileged does not mean she is not human. Humans experience rejection, fear, happiness, joy, sadness, despair, etc. We are all human and despite our situation, we feel negative and positive emotions. Stop bitching about having to work harder, instead, try to motivate yourself to do better. Do you have to work twice as hard? Tough cookies, you suck it up and put one foot in front of the other and give it all you’ve got. Go the extra mile, be all you can be. Don’t discourage yourself by thinking your current situation is gonna stay that way forever, everything starts with a mindset. A lot of successful people come from nothing, and a lot of privileged people end up doing nothing with their lives. It’s all about challenging yourself and working hard because at the end of the day it will be worth it.
I've been a full time model now for a few years and I think I've started to realise this year exactly how you felt. It's not bettering my life (apart from the money) and I've definitely found it so hard to accept that 1) I was never as successful as I hoped I'd be in the industry and 2) that now I'm going to have to find something that I can happily do for the rest of my life after only ever aiming to be a model. I needed this encouragement Valeria. Thank you
You are such an inspiration.. I love you so much!!❤️ Your channel is my favourite 😍.. so much of positivity.. you are my sunshine Valerie 🌻☀️
I love that you picked yourself up even though you were very upset. I think more opportunities will come as long as you keep learning from your experiences. Thanks for sharing
Victoria Secret rejected her!?? There's something seriously wrong with them!! I LOVE YOU VALETIA!
Thanks for sharing Valeria. You're very brave. It's so hard to admit failure, but you didn't just admit it but learnt from it..you're an inspiration xx
plus it's really their loss they rejected u. honestly, u are an amazing human being with a gorgeous body and heart and u could perfectly rule on Victoria secrets. however, I'm very glad and proud u took something good from it.
I understand so much the feeling u felt. I feel that everyday bc I constantly feel I'm failing at school and then I end up actually failing bc of my lack of confidence and self comparation bc to me everyone else is so smart and I seem to be doing everything wrong and I really need to be excellent to get into the uni I want and ugh I know that the fact that I don't have inner strength, neither self confidence affects my performance at school 100000%. however, no matter how much I say I'm gonna do different, I end up giving up, feeling a failure, bc I don't believe in myself and I seem to never be smart or good enough. do u have any tips how I can strength my inner self and stop comparing and be motivated to fight for what I want in life? the fact that I'm battling depression also affects it but u know i wanna do better but it's really hard bc life scares me so so so so much. it terrifies me and gives me so much anxiety bc I don't think I can get through it. thank u so much for being on RUclips ♡ I'm so so grateful. u are amazing. never doubt that
Tony Robins who?? We got Valeria Lipovetsky up in here !!! 😁👏🏻❤️
