​Clarity

I’m learning the very hard way that clarity is a key to success. I’ve floundered a bit in my day. Ok, a lot. When I have a clear goal, I’m like a guided missile, nothing can stop me. But when I’m wishy washy about where I’m heading, nothing gets done. I spin my wheels and “feel” like I’m working, but when I go to bed I never seem to have done enough or made any real progress. Nod along with me here.

One area I’m working hard on is clarity. What do I want? One of my favorite scenes of all time is from Alice in Wonderland.(The book. Not the Disney movie)

Alice is talking with the Cheshire Cat. The exchange goes like this:

Alice: “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”

The Cheshire Cat: “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”

Alice: “I don’t much care where.”

The Cheshire Cat: “Then it doesn’t much matter which way you go.”

Do you have a plan for PA school or are you just clinging on for dear life? In the November issue of the Physician Assistant Exam Scholars Newsletter, we work a bit on clarity. For example, if you don’t have a plan, here are a few possible end points you might choose between:

– I want to learn as much medicine as possible

– I want to be able to treat patients well and with confidence

– I want to be a valuable member of a medical team

– I want to not fail out of PA school

– I want to pass my PANCE

– I want to start making some MONEY!

We go through each of them and, using these as a starting place, I show you what you should be studying. Because, until you decide where you want to go, it’s really hard to choose what to do to get there.
