Satisfaction is to lay your head down on the pillow at night knowing
that who you are and what you do makes
sense.

breathe through the heart
Take home points
being a veterinarian is a journey, not a destination
seek satisfaction, not work-life balance
living requires strategy and reflection
know yourself, respect others
breathe through your heart
