You’ve worked for 36 hours straight with minimal food or rest. You stood tall in the face of angry attendings, patients and even their family members.  You’ve also endured the guilt from missing out on events with family and friends. 

You have grit.

Why is it so hard to embrace change? 

How do you find the courage to be at peace with change; that it’s not going to be so bad?
