Is Your Chiropractic Fire Lit, Or Is Your Wood Wet?

What a fantastic weekend! As always I am overwhelmed at the incredible feeling I always get when in an environment of 400+ like minded chiropractors! It never ceases to amaze me at how fulfilling it is to help chiropractors that are looking for answers so they can be more successful in managing their patients, more successful in managing their practice, and more successful in managing their lives. It is also incredible that no matter how many times I do this, I get the same buzz from it! I love chiropractic, I love chiropractors, and I love being around them when everyone is focused and on purpose to improve themselves, their practice, and their patients.
How long has it been since you have had your “fire” relit? We as chiropractors tend to be on an island, an island bombarded by negativity toward our profession and our philosophy. It is easy to get beaten down and start slipping. Once that happens the quality of our thinking regresses and so goes our results and our practice numbers. We need each other. As much as I love technology and what we can accomplish from our own little island now, we have remain aware of the need for us to gather together. It is inspiring and fulfilling to know that you are not the “only one”, and others are experiencing the same thing you are experiencing. To be able to share friendship and fellowship with other D.C.’s whether you are attending a chiropractic management weekend, a technique seminar, or other type of training is something we all need to keep our batteries charged.
Recently someone told me, we do church all wrong in our society today. We come to church to be filled, when actually we should come to church filled and pour it out. I think we as chiropractors may do the same thing with our practice, going there expecting to be filled, rather than going in filled ready to pour it out on our patients. And we all know where that gets us. 
Get to a chiropractic gathering of some sort and get your chiropractic tank filled, then go home and pour it out on your patients and your practice will grow. To steal a line from one of my mentors, if you can go be around a bunch of purpose minded chiropractors and that doesn’t light your fire, then your wood must be wet!
It’s difficult to keep your chiropractic fire burning when your on an island where almost everyone throws water on you all the time. My fire is lit, how about yours?
