Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t. We all are faced with certain obstacles in life that affect our decisions and challenge our patience. Sometimes, it feels overwhelming, but they all teach us something important. They help us align our dreams more closely with the reasons we pursue them and make us more grateful even for the little unnoticeable things.
As we continue to walk this journey, having the right people beside us can make all the difference. Realizing that we can do something on our own but having mentors makes the process so much easier. Remember, every challenge we allow ourselves to be refined by is what makes our story unique and relatable. When people see us face difficulties and come out stronger, it motivates them to do the same. Our experiences can serve as a reminder that everyone struggles, but it is how we respond to those struggles that defines us.
In this episode, I’ll share the key lessons from my keynote speech at the National Medical Association in New York City. Speaking to young orthopedic surgeons, I reflected on my journey, from overcoming challenges as a first-generation physician to finding mentors who shaped my path. I’ll also discuss the rewards and realities of working in sports medicine, from professional team experiences to daily patient care, along with insights on balancing family and career. Join me for an inside look at my path in medicine.
