3 concepts and ideas that can be applied to life both within and outside of medicine.

-thread 🧵-

1) Consistency --> Motivation.
- The more consistent you are with any action (reading, working out, meditation), the more motivated you will become to continue that action. Innate motivation can be temporary.

- Use Newton's 1st law of motion; an object in motion stays in motion

2) Adversity --> Stretching Limits --> Growth
- During medical training you will be pushed to your limits (mentally, physically, emotionally).

- Many times you will doubt your abilities. Use every learning opportunity to stretch, grow, and expand your horizons.

3) Repetition --> Competence --> Confidence
- A common theme of successful med students, residents, and physicians is the number of repetitions.

- As you see more pathology or study more questions, you will become more knowledgeable. Trust in your preparation and the process.

Remember the skills obtained within a career of medicine are easily transferrable to a successful life OUTSIDE of medicine: grit, hard work, persistence, patience, perseverance.

Use the skills you have mastered within medicine to create success outside of hospital as well!
