A Letter For You, Physician, At The Start Of Your Pilgrimage To Career Change

/ Blog, Mindset

Where you stand now is no longer your horizon.
You must journey to a new one.

A place over there, more important than over here,
Calling your name.

Gently leave behind the others;
For they don’t see you anymore.

Join your fellow travelers;
For you will need their company along the Way.

Bring your uncertainty;
For you will be surprised along the Way.

Bring your vulnerability;
For you will need visible help along the Way.

Bring your faith;
For you will need invisible help along the Way.

Bring your inner silence;
For you will need alone-time along the Way.

Bring your courage;
For you will be changed along the Way.

Inspired and adapted from David Whyte, Power of Presence, September 14, 2023.

Novaturient

I learned this word recently.

It means,

“desiring for powerful change in one’s life, behavior, or situation.”

It may be associated with soul-searching journeys, a yearning to explore and discover.

Are you feeling novaturient?

– HT to Chip Conley
