Have you ever had an obvious trace of who you really are, and then completely ignored it?

It can be a very, very big changes, or it may entail a lot of risks. Perhaps you are afraid of in order to convince your loved one how you didn't have to. So, you argue that "there never will be." You, yourself, who believe that "to be reasonable, and put it away for a while." I know how you feel, as I did so.

I was twenty years old and in my third year of medical school. We are one of the first psychiatric practice, and the professor gave us a patient with conversion disorder.

I was hooked. None of the other classes, I've been immersed in. I fell in love with it in your hand, reading, doing all of the science and the brain.

In spite of the fact that, in my opinion, it was a disaster.

"You know, my father was (and still is) one of the renowned eye surgeon, who owned a hospital set-up, and was waiting to give his kingdom to me. Love for a mental health was not the plan.

I grew up in a culture where children are listened to and their parents. No questions asked. In addition, if you are a first-time user, with the extra points if a woman has been the case. Unfortunately, to me, to him and to others. So, I ignored the sign and continued my request.

Then there was a terrible tragedy, and my mother died all of a sudden. And then, he turned his life upside down.

It was then that I realized that the plan to meet its obligations, and then to follow up with my intentions is an illusion. Even in the heady immortality of the soul, of the young people, are sobered by the death of a loved one. I have developed this sense of urgency, almost desperately needs to be fully alive and true to myself, and during that period of time I have left on this earth.

It's been more than a decade ago, I gave my opinion on this point. I was a doctor, a psychiatrist, and the united states, and my siblings growing up, my father and I reconciled.

But I wouldn't trade this journey, no matter how hard it is, even if I had the chance. As he learned, through trial and error, of how to remain in it.

Travel, as every person is different. And so, this is by no means a universal recipe. This has been a help to me, and I'm sharing them in the hope that a few of them are able to help you in your travels.

1. Protect the interests of these special friends.

I was (and still is) the friends of the felt, and loved me unconditionally. This is truly priceless. Wheels and save to your best friend and to be honest with them. They could be your moral compass of the character of the times. Not just mentally, but it is literally the "share-the-last-sandwich-read the poems, and the long days.

2. Don't hate them, like the tree, we'll all stumble sometimes.

It would have been so easy, in fact, it was so hated by my dad for a while. But as time went by, and I was able to see it on this page. This guy was so bad that he only ate once a day, and went to school in torn rags.

And so, in secret, sneaking in and out of the school with the day to day work of a shepherd of the sheep. From there, he rose to his feet, it was the best surgeon in the country and built an empire. The fact that I was rejected by him, and that was personal, like I was rejecting him.
