Book Your Seat

I want you to spend ten seconds visualising your own graduation. Do it right now.

Picture the gown, the formalities, the proud friends and family watching from the wings. Picture the room it’ll be in, and the nerves you’ll have.

Now picture the enormous sense of achievement you’re going to have as you walk down the aisle to pick up your certificate, as they refer to you as Doctor and you finally complete the most challenging journey of your life.

Feels good, right?

Before you know it, it’ll be happening for real and it’s going to feel better than you can imagine. Keep putting the hours in, rest when you need it, silence that inner critic and you’ll end up there in no time at all.
