I am sure you have all heard the saying it is never too late for a new beginning. I believe that this phrase holds a great deal of truth especially in America. It is very common for people to change their tastes, careers, or even spouse. The generations before us were very different in this aspect. In these generations, people would make a decision on these sort of things & live with their choices.
I cannot say exactly why earlier generations made decisions & stuck with them. From my interactions with people that made their decisions work, they seem to have a pride for the decisions they made. On the flip side, if things happened that set them back or if they had to they had no problem starting over. I have found myself at a similar crossroad in my life & have made the decision to try to do more & not settle in the middle mode of life. I believe that I have much more to give & the only way to do justice to myself is to let go of the middle mode of life I am in.
In three weeks, I will begin down the road to becoming a physician so that I can help people even more than I do currently through marketing & selling software that helps improve the efficiency & safety of the care process. The past two years with my current company have helped me evaluate many different medical specialties. I have two interests which are dermatology & surgery. I have identified the school I want to go to as well, which is N.Y.U. in Manhattan, NY.
I am very excited about my upcoming journey, but cannot lie & say I am not a little nervous. I have been thinking about & planning this for over a year now. I also have to laugh a little, because I wanted to even more after being exposed to how challenging the medical profession can be. I have always been attracted to a challenge & not surprisingly have always managed to attract them. I am also excited about getting to live in NYC because I have been attracted to the city ever since the first time I got to visit it. Some people are intimidated by the energy & atmosphere, but I find it invigorating.
I am 28 years old & I am letting go of the of the strings that hold me in this middle mode of life to become what I believe I was truly meant to be. I am doing so because I believe that it is never to late to begin again & never too late to make a good decision. Maybe you will just see this as a story about someone else, or maybe this will inspire you to do something good for yourself that you have been holding back on doing. Thank you all for reading & choosing to follow my posts. Peace, Love, & Happiness to you all!!!
Bless You!
