No one believes their life will turn out "kind of OK." We all think we are going to be great.
And from the day we decide to be surgeons, we are filled with expectation.
Expectations of the trails we will blaze, the people we will help, the difference we will make. Great expectations of who we will be and where we will go.
And then we get there.
You've got to wonder, "Why do we cling to our expectations?"
Because the expected is just what keeps us steady, standing, still. The expected is just the beginning.
The unexpected is what changes our lives.
