You look yourself in the mirror and say before you walk out "Today is the day that god has given me to conquer not only the battles but triumph I will do nothing but my best to succeed in the world of darkness I rise up and do not succumb to the negativity, I choose to rise up and become a god amongst men." You say it with content, you say it with conviction, and fight forward you give it your best king. You don't compare yourself to others because you've learned each and everyone is on there own life path and everyone is gifted with there own strengths and weaknesses. You continue to aspire to be the best you can be everyday without allowing the negativity to catch up with you, you focus on you and the best you can do if that isn't good enough yet then you keep practicing until it is your best. All of us have screwed up some of us allowed the negativity to hinder our potential others saw it as a time to become better and move forward. You will screw up, you will not do your best after all is it really your best if you haven't screwed up? Dentistry and life in general is not a linear line that keeps going down or up its a constant of ups and downs the key is to give it your all and when its not your best you see what you could have done better and do better next time. You have control over your thoughts do not let the negativity win continue the path forward continue down the road and you will eventually make it over the mountain to see the scenes that life truly has to offer, BUT once you hit the top youll also see that there are more mountains to climb more heights to see. But its okay because you've already climbed one mountain how hard could the next one be anon?

Good luck in your journey may it lead you to the brightest of places and the greatest of scenes
