Just Do It Scared
Hey Weekly Growth Fam!
I know it's been a while and I have some explaining to do š . Life tossed me into the deep end with the start of my Spine rotation, my first orthopedic roation as an intern. I've been working more than I thought was possible, often times in the hospital far before the sun is up, and back home long after it has gone down.
With the start of this rotation, I was handed the keys to run a service solo! Listing cases, managing patients, taking calls, presenting at weekly conferences, etc. Every day I walked into the hospital anxious for what was ahead as I faced tasks that were as new to me as a cat in water. But I recently came across a gem from Glennon Doyle: "If you can't beat the fear, just do it scared." Suddenly, I stopped interpreting fear as something that could limit me, and instead as something that was daring me to step up my game. It is just a sign that I am stretching beyond my comfort zone which is essential for growth.

So, here's my challenge to you: embrace this quote in your life. Whether you're starting a new hobby, diving into a new job, or just trying that intimidating recipe (we've all been there), let fear tag along. Think of it as your slightly annoying yet motivational sidekick.
