Act the Part and You Will Become the Part
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
