Discovering your true passion takes time, curiosity, and conversations with others; patience is essential in this unfolding process.True work sustains rather than drains. If your job depletes you, it may be misaligned; fulfilling work should energize you and support your well-being.Whole health includes mind, body, and connection. Physical and mental health are deeply intertwined, and meaningful relationships are as vital as medicine in preserving wellness.Personal growth thrives on integrity and lifelong learning. Staying open to change, aligning with your values, and seeking care that truly listens are foundations for both health and fulfillment.“You are not your job. You are so many more things than that. When you only think of yourself as a person in a relationship, you don't get the chance to expand yourself.” - Dr. Olivia Hsu FriedmanCheck this Case Study: Treatment of Topical Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome with Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Case Series of 5 AdultsConnect with Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman: Website: https://amethystacu.com/ Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/AmethystAcu Connect with Philip: Website: https://www.fornarolaw.com/ Podcast Website: https://lbmpodcast.com/ "X": https://x.com/FornaroLaw Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/philipfornaro/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fornarolaw3002 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fornarolaw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fornarolaw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FornaroLaw  https://www.facebook.com/philip.fornaro.3/
