You know, I have, for those of us who have been in the health field, either have been or still are, I believe that we are, for the positions that we've been in, I think we're motivated by the idea of encouragement. We like to be able to encourage people people to be healthier through a variety of different ways.
Or we care about people so that they can lead the type of life, for instance, Sheridan, that you're talking about for younger people. And if by chance, a medical condition compromises that. So let's just say, God forbid, Sheridan, today you found out that you have something, cancer, diabetes, whatever, okay? Or even people at your age having like a stroke.

How does that compromise what you just said, what you really want to be able to do in life and how is it that we as healthcare professionals, hopefully if you're able to live through the particular condition, how is it that we can encourage you to assume that, that you can get that even though you have this so-called monkey on your shoulder, okay?

That's part of what I believe the health profession is about. I'm not sure if the word for us is to motivate people. I think it's really more to encourage them, okay, or guide them, assist them, work with them. And whether it be at an individual level or at a community level that you've been involved with, for sure, Clarence.

You know, there are certain things that are out of our control. Like, you know, we all faced COVID, for instance. And boy, did that affect our motivation? Think about that. It's just like, how is it that any one individual was motivated I mean, we did as best we could in the health care field to encourage people, for instance, to get vaccinated.

But what is it that actually motivated people to get vaccinated? What happened to being motivated when all of a sudden there's a stop sign that's put in front of all of us where you can't travel or it's very difficult to travel? Your lifestyles have been changed. things were closed down, et cetera. So there are things that are out of our control.

But I will say this, that when things get better, like I'm hoping they are now, those of us who are motivated pick up where we left off as best we can, okay? And that I think is part of human nature for sure.

Well, okay. So I think for everybody out there in the listening world, I'm hoping that our conversation today gets you thinking about how it is that you're motivated, what motivates you, what type of encouragement do you need in order to assume the things that you want to do?
