What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as who you become in the process

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as who you become in the process”

- Henry Thoreau

Sometimes who we become in pursuit of a goal is not who we wanted to become. 

For many women in medicine, we were so focused on the ever-moving endpoints and goals of medicine, relationships, and parenting, we lost ourselves along the way. 

This is true for many other life journeys as well.

When you take time to pause and be present,

it’s possible to find yourself again.

When you stop focusing on the “should want” and start focusing on your actual wants, the fog begins to clear.

When you start breathing deeply and responding instead of reacting, clarity begins to emerge.

When you start to take responsibility for your happiness and own your experience of life as it presents itself, contentment becomes possible.

From here you can move forward with intention and ease.

Liberated to share your authentic self, gifts, and talents with the world in an aligned way.

Who you become along the way will still be more important than the endpoint.  

But who you will become on this journey of living will be amazing.
