Not everybody will get it. People will misinterpret you and what you do. They might even call you names. So get comfortable with being misunderstood, disparaged, or ignored -- the trick is to be too busy doing your work to care

TSK: That moment when there’s a medical emergency in a public place, and just as you announce that you’re a doctor and everybody looks at you with renewed hope in their eyes, you fumble your water bottle, spilling water onto the prone patient:
Medicine. Forever standing in the tension between Tick-box Protocolized Medicine and Tailored Personalised Medicine. Standardisation is necessary to some extent but our patients do not come standardised.
- Eric Levi
It's hard to see the world from another perspective because we are a point at the "normal" end of the spectrum. But there are infinite points in the spectrum. They are not outliers. We become the outliers once we fail to listen and understand the infinite points.

Lost and FOUND.
There are times in my life that I've been down, I've been out, I've been afraid, I looked up at the road ahead and been completely unsure. I can say first hand when you're going through a situation like this, it essentially consumes you...it's all you see, it's all you think about to the point where the good stuff, the opportunity all around you, it becomes transparent, you see right through it. It's the negative, its misfortune for a period of time that becomes your narrative, becomes the story.. What if this is forever? What if I am not as good as I wanna be or as they are? What if things don't work out?
Never mind the fact that you've been here before and you battled back. Never mind how far you've come, no, that takes a backseat to the discomfort you feel right now and that's the irrationality of the human mind, we forget. We forget that the lows create the highs. That temporary isn't forever, that you can't stand with any type of authority, if you've never before fallen.
Accomplishing anything is never just walking up and reaching a goal... it's about getting back up over and over again. Taking the bad breaks in stride and seeing the losses for they are necessary.
What if I told you that the difficult times weren't just manageable, they are what you needed. Those moments when you felt helpless...were a bridge to something better. A demonstration of how capable you are and how strong you can be.
Feeling lost, feeling defeated...sure, it's unsettling but it's also a reminder that you are exactly where you need to be...in one form or another, your struggle becomes your answer. Life isn't always calm seas and sunny skies but if you let it, it will teach you to weather any storm to come out on top. Never lose sight of the opportunity, it's there.. hiding behind the struggle immersed in the ups and downs and when you know that you will not let yourself stay down, that you'll get up. Struggle becomes a building block not a weight around the ankles. With each stumble you become taller; with each missed step you step forward. The problem will never be tough times, it will be refusing to find that next level for fear of their materialization. Regret is a choice and for those who refuse to stay down, it will be a choice they will never know.
I'm ready to go back to the emergency room. I'm ready to wear the white coat again. I'm ready to wear the scrubs again. I'm ready to save lives again.
I knew it was the right thing to do. It wasn't a conscious thought but rather, a response to the world around me. It was all I'd known. All I'd ever been told. See, the question in my mind was never if, but when. I looked to my left, I looked to my right and proceeded to put one foot on the ladder in front of me. It felt right, I alternated feet as I climbed each rung step by step. I could hear classmates, family, friends in the distance. From my vantage point, the sky looked like a sea of ladders, with everyone in my life ascending towards the unknown. Validating the necessity of my own mission. With each step I became more satisfied, my self worth increased, my pride multiplied. When complexities arose, I remained calm. Fully aware that hardships come with the territory. The top of the ladder wasn't suppose to be easy. It was suppposed to be.... I stopped. What was it supposed to be? That was the question I've never really asked myself. I took a few more steps. Eyes still fixated on the earth below. I could see my house. Maybe that's it, time spent with the most important people in my life. All those days I wish never ended. That must be what I'm climbing towards. I smiled to myself and I continued up. The higher I got, the greater my fascination with the landscape below. As the clearly defined shoreline, mountains, desert, forrest, and cities began to take shape. It was almost surreal. And I thought, that's what the top is like. An existence so beautiful that it takes your breath away. And up I climbed with a focus so intense that the world around me seemed to fade away. I tilted my head back and peered up towards the top of the ladder. There was no end in sight. It didn't matter though, I knew I'd get there. Everything I ever wanted was waiting for me. Everything that I left below.
You're good. Don't screw it up because you're miserable.

It's not a matter of having a positive attitude and just expecting things to work out, it's a matter of combining that winning mentality with the ability to find and achieve your goals. Success has no life until you breathe life into it.
99% of the reasons we give for not doing things, they're excuses, they're meaningless. If you want something, do it! And that's not a cliché, that's the key to success: FIND A WAY TO GET IT DONE.

Hey! Can I just say that your blog is absolutely awesome! And so is your taste in music!
Yay! Thanks! You have an awesome blog too! 😁
The Summit // Congratulations, MJIO 2015! The ascent, looking up at the mountain as you make your way from the bottom when everything including gravity is falling on top of you, pushing you down. You know it'd easier to head back down and change course, you know you could stop but there's something better at the top of the mountain, and it's worth the fight.
Not all days are going to feel good, you know that. Every action will not prove beneficial, you've lived it. That light at the end of the tunnel, it can look awfully small but with each step...you're making a conscious decision to leave yesterday behind to seek something better.
You know why you're here, why you're getting up at 5am, the sacrifices you've made; it's because you wanted more, you expected out of yourself! Simply getting by isn't for you, it's for someone else. Yeah, you feel tired but it means nothing because at the end of the day, you'll either succeed or you won't, and it won't matter how tired you were.
Words like if, maybe, they're insignificant, they're for the weak. If you want something, you'll get it or you'll die trying. The failures along the way, they made you stronger; the wrong turns, they made you wiser; nothing is falling into your hands, you've taken the world by storm. Yeah people are going to say that you can't, that you won't but they are not you, they don't know what you're capable of, THEY WILL.
Discomfort, pain, you moved through it!....step by step. All you can think about now is being on top of that mountain, it's become an obsession, you waste no time feeling sorry for yourself that simply distracts from your goal. When it hurts the most, you press the hardest! You've given everything for this leaning on nothing but the faith you have in yourself
The blood, the sweat, the tears, they've allowed you to create your foundation. Now, now is the time to build an empire!
CONGRATULATIONS, MJIO 2015!
