Bewilderment.

To put it simply, this was one of those weeks that passed like a vague illusion.. You know when certain days you're struggling underwater and suddenly you find yourself above the surface, only to fall back down again? Yeah, one of those weeks that leave you breathless. But it passed, and here's some of the good that came out of it..

-Some people, whether brief acquaintances or lifelong friends, give you a tremendous amount of hope in the human race. Seriously, there are people out there that you are extremely lucky and forever grateful for ever encountering. And the mark they leave is simply unforgettable.

-Everyone comes into your life for a reason. So look up to those people that you truly admire and respect, and pinpoint what it is in them that left such an impact on your life. Learn from them!!

-An obsession with power seriously corrupts people, so make sure you don't fall into that trap. Never aim for revenge, aim for improvement.

-Sometimes, you just have to jump in headfirst despite how unprepared you feel. The water's hardly ever as deep as it seems, and one way or another you'll find your way back up. Do the thing(s) that you fear most, just once, and fear will become a memory.

-When in a position where others are relying on you, don't let them down. Just do it.

-Saying it out loud does make it real. But sometimes, facing it is the only way to overcome it.

-Underestimating yourself will cause others to underestimate you as well. Have faith in your capabilities.

-It's a SMALL world..!!

-Introduce yourself to new acquaintances, don't wait for them to ask for your name..! :p

-Even when you know you're lost, carry on anyway. Doors will open. And when they do, don't hesitate to walk right through them.

A THANK YOU goes out to those whose presence taught me well!

Savvy Doc.
