optical illusion: A visually perceived image that is deceptive or misleading.
If you stare at the optical illusion above the circles move in opposite directions. It is the trick of the brain and eyes. In reality there are many illusions that we live with...one being, that if you have a uterus you must have and want children. If you are male you are destined to a life of bread winner. If you are a nurse you must be able to take care of every patient...now there is the challenge of the day. The idea that as a nurse you can nurture everyone, have the knowledge to take care of "any patient" and know what every doctor is thinking....hummm...oh and in this day and age as a nurse you must also be a computer expert.
It is again and again a challenge to put forth your best foot. That is by moving the best foot forward you create a stance that may help you create a balance. You really can't do it all and by putting both feet forward you would fall backwards, gaining no ground emotionally and meeting no challenges.
Although some illusions over time become reality, the idea that a nurse can meet all challenges is detrimental to the self esteem not only of the nurse but but to the soul of the person who resides in the role of nurse.
For today, I vow to put my best foot forward and know that it is not only all I can do but, it is all I want to do.
