Act the Part and You Will Become the Part
Posted by Sean on November 20, 2008
It looks like chicken..
It smells like chicken..
It tastes like chicken..?
It must BE chicken?!
Sometimes it’s a simple decision to become the thing you want to be. I remember when I ‘became’ a nurse. It wasn’t when I officially passed my NCLEX-RN exam. It wasn’t when I officially got my first job as a ‘nurse’. And it wasn’t when someone called me a ‘nurse’.
It’s when I decided to start acting like a nurse.
I accepted my responsibilities.
I met my challenges head on.
I adapted and overcame each obstacle as I met them.
I dressed the part.
I walked the walk.
I talked the talk.
I damn well sure defended my participation in becoming the part.
And I began to ‘feel’ like a nurse
What do you want to become?
Carpe Diem
