One of the biggest frustrations in life is thinking you are not enough.

Well, if you play the wrong games, you WILL never be enough.

Some of the games we play are:

  • Having biggest home
  • Owning the nicest/newest car
  • Marrying the best looking spouse
  • Seeing the most patients per week
  • Being the “straightest” chiropractor in town
  • Being the center of attention/life of the party
  • Having the perfect family

…But, there will ALWAYS be someone who has more “stuff,” can out-spend you, or can create a grander image of wealth, perfection, and happiness.

Instead, consider playing only games that you CAN win or at least make you feel like you ARE enough… that you are successful and happy.

Games like:

  • Making time for your family
  • Getting and staying healthy
  • Having a referral based low overhead, low stress practice
  • Creating an uncomplicated life
  • Being at peace, true to yourself and your core values
  • Doing what’s right because it’s the right thing to do

Once you simply remove yourself from the games that create the feelings of envy, lack, or that “enough is never enough,” you make room for what is important in practice and in life.

The transformation is immediate and can take place right now.
