On February 10, 2020, I wrote a blog about "making hard choices" on Instagram. Now I am going to share it here too:
One day I had to travel all through the Netherlands to give a lecture with a strong incentive on human health issues. That particular day my nerve pains were at its worst, I was biting away the pain. I was in agony. And I also knew there were people against some of my objectives, so it could become a storm with bold winds against me.
The lecture was very important to me personally, so I had to make a hard choice. I took some painkillers (which only help a little) and I traveled through my country with a lot of traffic jams along the way. I gave my lecture with pride and even won the discussions to keep the storm at bay. Afterwards, I took time to rest and restore my energy in order for the pains to lessen.
I told this to my dear friend Gerald from the UK and he shared his wisdom with me:
"Professionalism is not about how you act on your best day, it is how you act on your worst day and still get satisfying results."
And so I did.
Have you ever had to come to terms with your fears and pain? And won? Showed the lion(ess) in yourself?
