Spring, by Dr. Ogi Ressel

Warm hellos to everyone!

I simply love Spring!
The green you see is seen at no other time of year.  
Spring is a time of renewal.
A time of budding. A time of rebirth. And a time of waking up from a
deep slumber.
It is a symbolic time.

This is the perfect time for you to reconnect with Innate and reaffirm
your purpose.
It is also the perfect time for you to kick butt and make a promise to
yourself that you'll not rest on your laurels until you've helped as many
in your community as you can.

I have to mention that while I was teaching Module II in Ft. Lauderdale
last weekend, one of our Module II workbooks was left outside our seminar
room on our registration table. Linda left the room for a moment and noticed
 and elderly gentleman from the boating seminar next door, reading our
Module II book.  He was amazed at what he read. He said to Linda, "I wish
I knew that Chiropractic can help children affected with Colic. I would have
had my kids to a chiropractor had I only known."

This man was in his early eighties.
The sad reality that struck me was that it had taken him eighty years to discover
the fact that Chiropractic can help children suffering with Colic. Eighty years!
Get a life, doctors!
What is the matter with our profession that we can't tell people what we do?
Are we afraid of being ridiculed?
Are just afraid?
Are we worried about our image?
Are we shy?
Do we think that people we get what we do by osmosis somehow?
Are we worried that we might lose respect if we open our mouths to speak? Is that it?
Do we think that the patient's family MD will tell them? There's reality for you!

Listen up....In case you didn't get this from my earlier THOTS:
This is not a profession. No. This is a Cause. A crusade! You have a mission.

Yes, you are on a mission - to help as many people in your lifetime as you can
 - especially children! Your mission, which I'd like to remind you in case you forgot,
you had accepted, is to save as many as you can! Are you doing it?

Are you living your mission? Or are you just wimping and schlepping around 
feeling sorry for yourself?

You are the only thing that stands in the way of total pharmaceutical domination
of the planet. Are you up for the challenge?

Some doctors I meet are afraid to tell their patients what this "chiropractic thing"
is all about for fear that they may not be liked. Listen......You are not in
practice to be liked.

This is not some social club. You are in practice to save lives. This is a war.
Period. End of story!

So....get out there and earn your stripes!

Warmest wishes,
Dr. Ogi Ressel
