Fear

Fear of failure is a powerful motivator.

It either makes you give it your Best.
Or
It makes you back down without even trying.

You get to choose which. And you gotta be wise while doing it.
But the question is: which of the two is the wiser choice??
What makes you think it's the first option??
There. Now there's fear of making a decision. And you start all over again.

And of course there's procrastination. In the hope that the solution will present by itself or to put it off till it's absolutely necessary.

Sometimes you have to just break the circle and do it. Abruptly. Firmly.
And you are free.

Till the next fork in the road.

Are you?

I think not! :P

FEELING GOOD!

It's a New Dawn!
It's a New Day!
It's a New Life!
(for me...)
And I'm Feeling Good. ^_^


Feeling Good - Cover by Muse (original by Nina Simone):

My announcement is coming a bit late. But...

Yay!!! I got in.
I'm a few weeks into my post-graduation course in General Surgery. (=Residency)
Woohoo! After a period of uncertainty and some amount of drama, I finally got into one of the places that I had my sights on!!
I feel happy and blessed, more than ever, as I know there are around 80,000 people out there who have taken their chances this year, along with me, but have not been as lucky.
Now it's time to de-rustify my grey matter (from all the caustic MCQ rubbish) and get ready to devour the surgery tomes, put on the gloves and wield the scalpel!

I know there's still a long way to go from here, and I'm very excited about the journey ahead and  the destination.
So, world: HERE I COME!!

[Birds flying high, you know how I feel!! :D ]
