The sum of Us

Great Aussie movie right....Too bad that's not what I'm talking about....

I think it's the experiences in life that you have. The smells, taste, sites, the good, the bad and the ugly. It's everything that influences our life as to who we become. In life unfortunately there are good and bad experiences, the trick too it is not to get weighed down by the bad and to make sure that all experiences that you have are positive ones....

I find myself these days, questioning the residency thing. When you are going through the process, you make it your whole life. You obsess over it and there is nothing else. You put the rest of your life on hold and there is nothing else. It's life passing you by whilst all your friends and family continue on.

Then something hits you to rouse you out of this trance. It's like a bucket of ice cold water being thrown over you. It burns your skin and you gasp for air trying to suck in enough just to breathe. And then you look around and begin to notice things again. You start to realise that life shouldn't be about the next case walking through the door or who did this study or what it meant.....

Truth about it is I'm really not sure if it's all worth it......

In looking for quotes for this one I found this by Robert Frost Bennett:

"Your life is the sum result of all the choices that you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself"
