The Joyful DVM Podcast: Empowering Veterinary Professionals

#143 Someone Wants The Job You Have


Listen Later

Someone wants the job you have.


They want those 3 letters behind their name.


DVM, VMD, RVT, LVT, CVT, CPM...


They hold close the dream of becoming exactly the veterinary professional you already are. 


Their vision of life working in VetMed brings them joy.


They can't wait to get there... to help people... to help animals.


Do you remember what that was like?


Do you remember when you held the vision, had the dream and believed all the hard work you endured along the way was worth it?


Is all of that still real for you, or has it faded?


Has it been replaced with bitterness and defeat?


If it has, why?


Many of us who are in or approaching burnout in our careers blame the career itself. 


It's the hours, the pay, the demanding clients, the toxic coworkers...


I personally don't believe any of these things are the root cause. 


The job hasn't changed.


Working in VetMed was always going to include challenges... it always has.


The world itself was always going to be changing... it always does.


And the people we interact with were always going to be unpredictable... they always have been.


You were already equipped for all of this when your journey began.


As I've said many times before, VetMed doesn't actually ruin lives. It simply brings awareness to the areas in our own lives where we have work personal to do.


It's a catalyst for self discovery and personal growth. 


And when we struggle with self-worth, self-value, self-confidence, and self-acceptance, VetMed jobs feel especially difficult.


From this place, we often discourage others from pursuing their dreams.


But, why?


To what end?


What do we gain when we discourage others from pursuing their dreams?


The answer: Nothing.


We simply reinforce the limiting beliefs we have about ourselves and our choices. 


We trap ourselves more firmly in our limiting beliefs.


We block opportunity to create a better experience for ourselves... the experience of our visions, of our dreams and of unlimited potential in the future. 


You already have what someone else wants.


More importantly, you have what YOU wanted.


Don't let someone else's opinion of your circumstances change what you believe.


Don't adopt the negative perspectives that are shared with you.


Protect your vision, your dream, your future.


Tackle your own demons. Embrace the opportunity to know yourself.


When you do this you become untouchable and unstoppable...


You become the best kind of example for others and the joy and satisfaction in your own life expands.
