Back in my hotel in Hong Kong, listening to the new Daft Punk album, finishing a bottle of Jonny Walker Black Label (in the morning), and planning my departure for Australia in 4 hours.
My life is awesome: Be a family doctor, deliver babies, teach, do good things.
Being a Family Physician has allowed me to travel since the first year of medical school- the desire to care for all ages, all people, all around the world- has opened incredible doors for me. I’ve also been blessed with an OK eye for photography, and some idea of how English grammar works.
I hope the 3 of you who are reading this get excited about whatever it is in your life you want to do, whatever that is. For me a year ago I wanted to do this- travel the world, be a doctor, make photographs, and tell people about the things I see every day.
I do it every day, and I couldn’t be happier. All I did was say “I want to do this, and am willing to work to make it happen”.
In months it was happening, and the World was open. I had love and help from my adopted family, which helped to give me the time to do it, and that made it possible.
I’m a lucky duck, and I recognize it every day.
Do what you love, do it today.
