There Is Always A Way

Season 6 Episode 7 - Give Peace a Chance

I love seeing Derek light up as soon as Isaac shows him the films of the spinal tumor. He looks inspired, almost aroused by the intricacy and complexity in its winding around the spine. It's intoxicating to think about.

I love the attitude and philosophies Isaac embodies to encourage him further. His quotes should be prints.
"Stop your mind before the no. You will find a way."
"Today, if you become frightened, instead become inspired."

Both of these men have characteristics I aim to have in myself.
Derek has found his calling, his obsession. He is neurosurgery. It is of him. There are other parts of him that make him Derek as a whole, but the core of his being is this. It's exciting.
Isaac has the best fortitude in the world. He is unstoppable by his own volition, convinced there is always a way; anything is possible.
Who wouldn't want to be like them?

When I was younger I was impassioned, obsessive. Anytime I came across something that interested me, it became my everything. Whether by depression or age, that spark has gone, and I have yet to discover something, anything, that would light that consuming flame again. I want a thing. My thing. I want whatever it is to be my world, tugging at my soul and drawing me to put insurmountable energies into it like I once did, like these fictional men do.
