Are you in a rat race? What are your goals? What brings you joy?

While I have finished the rat race of medical training, I find myself in a new rat race, feeling more like a rat than ever before. What has medicine taught me the most? We are not promised tomorrow. This life as we know it can be immediately change by a devastating diagnosis, a loved one's death, or a horrible care accident. We are all moments away from being different versions of ourself. 

What are my goals now? What brings me joy? Spending time with my loved ones. Living each day to its fullest. Having fun. Laughing. Living longer. Traveling and experiencing different cultures. Becoming the best version of myself.

You have to be your being cheerleader and advocate. This is your life. You may not be able to control your surroundings, but you can change how you react to them. Let's grow together.
