This is a good Place.
People have lived their entire lives searching for a reality that never existed. I don’t want to live my life regretting the decisions that I made, wishing I had lived differently. There are moments in your life where you need to pause. I’m at that moment right now. I just finished my first year of medical school and I sincerely don’t think that its hit me yet.
I’m not scared about my future. There is no place for fear in faith and trust in God. I believe that medicine is my calling, a distinct part of my purpose in life. I just know that I really want to make a difference in the world.
I attended a graduation ceremony this weekend and the main speaker was Joyce Carol Oates, who might I add was amazing. [My close friend, Lisa graduated…congratulations Lisa!!!] But, her speech talked a lot about the failure that one can experience in the way to success. She mentioned several well known authors who were rejected a number of times, yet they still persisted. When it seemed that all hope was lost—something miraculous would happen and life changed.
Failure on the way to success is a part of life. But, there is always hope. The future is wide open. The possibilities are truly endless. With determination and focus, worlds can be conquered. Dedication to ones self and purpose go hand in hand.
There is so much to think about and so much to be thankful for in this life. The little things that I take for granted in the United States could be huge in a different country. And yet we live everyday, enjoying the freedoms that are all around us. If I took it for granted, I no longer take it for granted. If I didn’t appreciate the people who love me, I’d be a fool. If I can not be a good friend, in my personal life I have failed. If I don’t love God, I have lost my true identity.
After all, when it comes down to it, all I have is my God, my family, and my friends.
