How do you think your life should be?
For that matter, how do you believe the world should be?
We all have our opinions...
... and when it comes to our own lives, the gap between what we believe it should be like and what it actually is, creates emotional turmoil.
This is true in our vet med jobs, our relationships with others, and even our evaluations of ourselves.
When we focus on what should be, we miss the opportunity in what is.
Even when the reality isn't as we'd like it to be, embracing the truth creates power and opportunity... in veterinary medicine and in life.
The land of "should be" creates shame, inaction, and hopelessness.
It's binary. Either / Or.
It's limiting... forcing you to experience your life as the effect of external things.
It's victimizing... it builds a false belief that you have no control.
It kills self-confidence.
So what else?
How about AND...
"And" opens up opportunity.
"And" focuses on what's possible.
"And" creates compassion and hope.
