"Little Hinges Swing Big Doors" -W. Clement Stone

This little phrase has such a massive impact on us as high-achieving, goal-oriented physicians, and nurses. Take a moment to re-read it and conceptually put it in perspective.

“Fail early, fail often, but always fail forward.”--John Maxwell

Failure hurts. Failure can cause emotional turmoil and regret. When we think of failure, we think of it in a negative light, yet it is vital for success. In fact, learning from failure is necessary for my wellness and for preventing healthcare professional burnout.

The old adage "stop and smell the roses" still holds true today. And perhaps even more important today as there are so many people and things vying for our attention.

Do you confuse ego and self-confidence?

Yes, there are many big egos in medicine, but I have found few with a self-confidence that can lead a tribe of healthcare providers toward a change for the better. Few physicians and nurses have attained a level of self-confidence that can give them outsized success.

As medicine continues to become more specialized, the more social isolation a physician encounters. It is no surprise that there is an increase in depressive symptoms and suicidality.

The importance of social connections in medicine can not be overstated.

Social support and connecting with others, especially in medicine, needs to be a priority for our overall health and wellness. Creating a community can be the antidote to the crippling adversity we sometimes field as we go through our day-to-day responsibilities.
