A Pick-Me-Up For Healthcare Workers

Healthcare workers are often the unsung heroes of our culture. They fearlessly confront the risks of exposure to disease, the uncertainty of the outcome of their efforts, and the unknown threats of caring for those who have not yet been diagnosed, to provide care, comfort and consolation. It is sometimes a thankless profession. Sometimes the lonely walk from the patient/family to the car after an exhausting shift can seem like miles, yet they persevere. I am honored to know many of these workers... I think it's more appropriate to call them warriors. I pray for you.. I salute you.. and I hope that in some way you will find some hope, comfort, peace and joy within the posts of this humble blog.

So;

• If you're having a bad day, remember;

“Tough times never last, but tough people do.”– Robert H. Schuller

• Don't be afraid to take a chance on yourself. Look for ways to make yourself, your life and your outlook better.

"The biggest risk a person can take is to do nothing. " Robert Kiyosaki

• Look for positives, focus on your blessings and don't let negative things drag you down.

"Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.” – Wayne Dyer

• Mistakes are not the end and failure isn't final. Just when you think you're never going to make it... you will.

	“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill
	
	“Life's real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up.” – Unknown

Michael Jordan, whose accomplishments prove him to be one of the greatest professional basketball players of all time said:

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. - And that is why I succeed.”

Thank you for treating each co-worker, business associate, patient and family with dignity, honor, respect and compassion.

Thank you for making each patient feel like a person - not a task.

And thank you for attending to the smallest details that make the biggest difference.

Thank you for all you do!
