Your parents are not the enemy.

Instead, they’re just pawns in the bigger game that’s playing all around you.

It’s the game of the broken “Healthcare Factory System”. And the goal of the game is to recruit as many replaceable cogs (see: Doctors) to keep the system going.

Your parents are unwitting pawns in this game. They’ve been tricked into believing that the best thing they can do for their children’s future is to set them on the path to becoming a Doctor.

And that’s what they did with you.

Not because they hate you or even because they despise the dreams you’ve shared with them.

All they’re thinking about is the idea they were sold:

If my child becomes a Doctor, everything will be okay.

You already know that everything will not be okay.

But they don’t know that, and trying to convince them that they were wrong is an exercise in futility.

In other words: it’s never going to work.

What you need to do, instead, is give them a different story to tell themselves about you…a story in which you get to do what you’ve always dreamed of doing.

And the way you craft such a story, is by understanding one crucial thing:

Your parents are not the enemy…they’re just pawns in the bigger game that’s being played around you.
