Each of us, through the cultivation of the qualities of mindful practice- attentive observation, critical curiosity, beginner’s mind, and presence- can find a blue ocean of opportunity, satisfaction, meaning, and work.

On a recent holiday traveling with eight of my family members, I was reminded of the song by the classic rock band, Cream, ‘Strange Brew’.

In many ways, choosing a career in medicine offers opportunities found in a few other professions. It can be described quite simply as the opportunity to work within one’s integrity.
