A dream is a sigh that makes us mentally fly towards a longed-for hypothetical future; as long as we treat it as a sigh, that is what it will always be, a breath that refreshes us but that, aged over time, can leave us with a bitter taste. When we take a dream and create a plan to achieve that dream, then we have a goal, and the most powerful thing the body, mind, and soul of a human being can have is a goal. The doctor's path is full of turbulence, earthquakes, and storms, but, at the end of the day, the only thing that will remind the doctor of the value of his sacrifice is the strength of how clearly his goals are established, there the goal transcends beyond being something to achieve and becomes an ally of every day as if it were a whisper to the ears and calcium to the cardiac myocytes. A clear goal is a superpower that can transform us towards the best version of ourselves, expanding our minds and guiding us to surpass horizons. One of the most beautiful goals is to one day have the "Dr" on our robe, it is a path full of demands and sacrifices, and having our goal clear helps a lot, but beyond that, we must always remember that this is about love for humanity, to strive harder every day because the chapter that we learn today, tomorrow will make the difference between the life and death of a human being, our call is demanding and in the hardest moments only love can help us remember that we are the hope of humanity and the last line of defense against the suffering of those most in need.
Never forget why you started, and there will always be light on your path.
