OVER IT

Too tired of the job, too young to retire I have discovered that this can happen at any age It’s also known as burnout — Being strong for too long— Nothing left in the tank The only apparent answer — QUIT But  It doesn’t have to end here — Old ways are changing — Careers were for life Now just a period of time — Education not wasted but transferrable…

REFLECTION, REGRET – ACTION

You can reflect, get clarity and regret or reflect, get clarity and act It’s a choice you get to make when you’re young - BUT - Implementation is key How often do you think about it and not do it The change of a job, location, relationships, friendships, hobbies Stuck in the same old same old becomes a habit until time takes its toll You wake up one morning and…

THRIVING IN YOUR COMFORT ZONE

The concept of stepping out of our comfort zone, has been used as a way of helping us embrace risk and make changes in our lives that can lead to real personal growth. Sounds great but this definition is low on perspective. I believe that we still need a comfort zone to operate from, we can be so far out of our comfort zone that we no longer thrive we simply…

IT’S AS IF YOU KNOW ME

A few days before I retired from Dentistry one of my patients said  — ‘It’s as if you know me’ This comment came because I had given her a book to read after her first visit. I wrote the book quite a few years ago and have given it out when I feel the time is right With this lady who suffers from Chronic Fatigue the time was right. What…

DISPOSABLE

‘I didn’t know you were leaving, no one told me!’ Funny thing about retirement — The feeling of being disposable Being needed until you aren’t — There’s someone to replace you — It’s all good You can leave now — Maybe earlier than you planned but it suits us better Helps us drive our business into the future — Bye And with that the door is closed and the work…

I have agonised, debated with myself, fought through the ups and downs I have questioned myself so many times  — What do I have to say that’s different — Why me I have compared myself with others, worried over treatments —Did I get it right Could I have done better — What if I’m wrong — What if I’m not good enough And then a comment — Simple but powerful…
