Reverb 11, Day 31 – Choice
Choice: What can you choose in 2012 to make your life better?
The first big step of 2012 is choosing the right career path. I chose medicine in 2006, and now, 6 years later, I need to choose what general branch of medicine I want to do. Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Ob/Gyn, Surgery, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Radiology, Emergency Medicine, Pathology… there’s so many options! And by the time I’ll have to pick, I’ll have only tried a general sample. There’s always the option to switch later on during my training, but I’d much rather try to get it right on the first try.
But in a more general sense, I can also choose to have a more positive outlook on life. I’ve spent a lot of the latter half of 2011 bouncing back and forth between being thrilled about how my life is going (finally working in the hospital!), and being sulky and lonely. I’d like to err more on the side of being happy.
