A man spent a decade searching for his purpose after wrongly believing only geniuses could become doctors. He eventually chose to teach on the Navajo Nation reservation, finding a path that matched his values instead of others' expectations.
Chapters
I'm not a genius. He's a genius. So I— and then I had— I left having this total misperception that you had to be a genius to be a doctor, which is completely wrong. And but I held on to that because I never went— I was healthy. I didn't know what doctors were like. I didn't really have much interaction with doctors. So he was my only example of a doctor. And he was a real genius. So I thought, I guess, I guess, even though this is in my DNA, it's not, I'm not qualified. So I went for 10 years looking for my purpose for 10 years. And it was right in front of me the whole time. But here's the good news. The good news is this 10-year journey was totally magical because I was free now thinking I can do anything and no self-doubts or bad feelings about who I am or anything. I was very open, very free, and to just choose my path and not choose anyone else's path, choose my path. And so I went to be a schoolteacher with the Navajo, Navajo Nation on the reservation. I was very young at the time.
