Once the wrapping paper and ribbons are cleared away, we're left with the realization that the tangible gifts we give and receive, pale in comparison to the gift of life and the forgiveness of our shortcomings. The spiritual supersedes the physical--the eternal trumps the temporal.
Same in your practice.
Your words and procedures pale in comparison to your purpose and intent. As you release each patient's potential for health restoration, look beyond the immediate gratification (yours and theirs) and consider the consequences that you often don't get to see:
A more loving spouse
A more understanding parent
A more dedicated employee
A more generous boss
A more considerate commuter
A more confident teenager
A more creative teacher
A more energetic senior
Reducing symptoms gives you job. Educating patients creates a career. But enhancing the way others live their lives produces a legacy.
You make a profound difference. Thank you for being a chiropractor!
