Why is winning so important?
In it to win it.
Winning.
Winning isn't everything it is the only thing.
There are a lot of ways to say it and it seems to be quite important in life. Psychologists say that winning is innate. I got the idea that winning is so desirable and so sweet because it is so HARD to do. Think about it.
Have you ever seen a team blow a lead in the ninth inning of a pivotal game. There are so many obstacles to securing the win that it becomes HARD to do.
Besides, if winning were easy we would all do it...
Speaking of winning, I saw a patient today that is going to community college. She had gone through adolescence without ever really exercising or participating in athletic pursuit. She was forced by her Aunt one day to go to the gym with her. Something clicked, she cannot explain it but she is hooked on exercise science, fitness and nutrition. Her goal is become a personal trainer and eventually a performance enhancement specialist at Nike. You know what I told her? Then do it! I think she will. She is winning.
Take a minute and find those around you who are winning and pat them on the back and celebrate their victories, it is so important to win. It is hard to do, but oh-so worth it.

Strive: attempt, endeavor, aim, venture,make an effort, exert oneself, do one's best, do all one can, do one's utmost, labor, work; informal go all out, give it one's best shot, pull out all the stops.
On Saturday I had the pleasure of seeing a patient that is a 5:21 personal best miler. He is quite driven, and understands that it does not come easy. He loves to run. He is not dreaming of Olympic Gold, he just loves to run. Don't think he is not keen on winning, he is. But his thrill comes from the groove that he is in when he runs. His goal is to run his entire life, he is 12 years old. He strives to be the best he can be at such an early age I asked what motivates him, how did he get it, that it takes effort and purpose, to make things happen? Really? he asked. Why wouldn't you have a goal and work hard to reach it? Why don't you want to be the best at something? Good question...He strives.
Later I was in our every two month Doctor meeting. We meet to educate each other and to strive to provide better, more efficient, more complete eye care. We learned about another discovery in the anti-inflammatory benefits of an Omega 6 Fatty Acid called Borage Oil. We are finding that many patients with certain forms of dry eye syndrome benefit from Omega 3 Fatty Acid intake and in fact there is good evidence that proper intake of Omega3FA is essential in maintaining macular health. It turns out that not everyone can tolerate Omega3FA supplements and may in fact tolerate the Omega6FA from Borage Oil. This is just another example of striving, aiming and working to know more about what we can do for our patients. Good job Dr. Annie Wolff, O.D., she strives.
Good Day,

Good Day,
One thing I am sure about is that most of us want to know that our contractors, accountants, attorneys, coaches and health care providers are current in the field. It turns out that across age, economic, gender, race, education and whatever demographic you can think of; when asked what is the most important factor is choosing an eye doctor, the statistical winner is "the doctor is current in the field".
What that actually means is up for discussion, but it is more important than price, location, recommendation, or any factor that you can imagine.
So, here's to being current! I am looking forward to learning and sharing with you on the PrevailingVision blog spot.
Cheers,
Dr. Greg
