Previous summers have featured guest celebrity motivators, subscribers as motivators and a "best of" gleaned from eight years of broadcasts. In 2007, Bill chose 13 passages from the Book of Proverbs and applied their principles to chiropractic practice.
For the Summer of 2008 Bill explores the 13 qualities of love from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
Turns out, love is an essential part of the healing process.
No doubt you've heard the axiom, "Patients don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."
It's true. The only problem is, many chiropractors end up caring too much, creating an unsustainable drain on their emotional reserves, leading to resignation, anger and then eventually, burnout.
Consider some of the differences between caring and loving:
