Adversity isn't always a test to conquer. Sometimes it's a struggle to endure.
Resilience is not a race to bounce back from hardship. It's a commitment to keep going in the face of hardship.
All your scars may not make you stronger, but they do remind you of your strength.
I am that medical student who keeps calling residents Dr. “Last name” even when asked not to do so. It’s just that urge to let people feel how far they’ve come and they should be proud of it even if they don’t want to😂
Receiving feedback can feel like moving backward because it raises our awareness of the areas where we need to improve.
But, being open to this information is actually a sign of strength and a critical first step toward growing and learning.
Two guys come in to an ER. One has COVID. He’s sicker than he thought this would make him. Crashes pretty quickly. Docs and nurses do everything to help him. He needs ICU. Wasn’t vaccinated. Not a hard core anti vaxer. Just didn’t think he’d really need it, COVID not so bad.
