Milestone: An action or event marking a significant change or stage in development. 

Yesterday I completed my cardiovascular disease fellowship. Finally after 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, 3 years of residency and now 3 years of fellowship, I can call myself a Cardiologist.  My heart is full. 🖤

To anyone in this marathon or aspiring to be, I have a few jewels to share..

🖤 Take up space! Unapologetically. 

🖤 Remember you deserve to be there. Your presence is your power. Own it. 

🖤 Proper preparation prevents poor performance. Study and perfect your craft. 

🖤 You won’t make every big event but you don’t have to miss every big event either.

🖤 Seek mentors early and stay connected with them!

🖤 Do what feels good to you, not what you THINK you should be doing. 

🖤 Lean on your village whenever necessary. 

🖤 Remember your why! You’ll be tested time and time again. 

🖤 Give back, it’s imperative. The highest human act is to inspire. 

🖤 Love yourself. Take care of yourself. Be kind to yourself. 

🖤 Live fully, keep a grateful heart and enjoy every moment of the journey. 

🖤 Fear is just a feeling. Overcome it and move forward. 

Big Blessings.
