Start by Seeing

You are invited to watch a short video on seeing into your future as a cancer registrar, click here.

How do you see yourself as a cancer registrar and what is in your future? Are you accomplishing great things or are you marking time until something better comes along? Psychologists tell us that most people do not feel or sense their purpose in life and some even doubt they have a purpose at all.

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, said: “You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”

As cancer registrars we have opportunities every day to live out our vision, to accomplish great things, to influence and lead, and to enrich the lives of others. The cancer registrar’s work impacts the lives of cancer patients and their families in very real and personal ways. Your purpose for doing this, however, and for even being a cancer registrar, comes from a place deep inside yourself. Your responsibility is to connect with your inner self, identify your purpose, have faith and live your life using your God-given abilities. Now, faith can be in a higher power that gives you a purpose for your life, but it is also in the call you hear from the center of your being.   Are you ready to start seeing your life through the eyes of faith?

If you have been struggling with all the changes in science and medicine and how this relates to what you do as a cancer registrar, then it is time to stop looking at the problems and start seeing yourself as having an opportunity to defeat cancer.

If you have been battling with a negative attitude and resisting change, then it is time to stop dwelling in the negative and to start seeing yourself as blessed with having work and a unique skill set that allows you to serve the needs of others.

If you are having difficulty relating to others or communicating the needs of your cancer registry then now is the time to start seeing your purpose and value and how it can help you to communicate and collaborate to strengthen the needs of your organization and cancer registry profession.

If you live this way you will succeed. You will find success and achievement in everything that you do. You will be listening to your inner being and fulfilling your destiny on this earth. You will find meaning and purpose in all that you do and you will feed your emotional and professional needs and achieve greatness, happiness and success as a cancer registrar.
