The Size of your Accomplishment, by Dr. Ogi Ressel
May 04 2009, 12:00 am
Warm hellos to everyone!
I wrote a THOT on Accomplishment awhile ago and it seems very appropriate to
expand on it a bit:
You measure the size of your accomplishment
by the obstacles you had to overcome to reach it!
Zig Ziglar once said; "The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the
stairs - one step at a time."
In our insane, ready-to-wear, instant-on, oven-ready, freeze-dried world, we often
forget that instant success is a rarity. It usually follows hard W.O.R.K. and perseverance
and dedication. Oh, my!.........Did I say this would be easy? I believe that in order for
a chiropractor to be at the pinnacle, to be the best, to be the cream of the crop, to be
seen as absolutely amazing by his community, there are certain steps which must be
taken.
These steps cannot be rushed as they gradually mold, fold, and mature you into a great
doctor. That is one of the reasons why locum doctors, hired so you can take a vacation,
invariably lower your practice and it then takes you months to recover. The reasons are
simple; although the locum may have similar technical ability, he/she has not matured
into your position.
They are not you!
It is also the reason why many doctors, after taking some glitzy marketing seminar,
see their practice initially change, before reverting back to previous unacceptable levels.
And, although a doctor has artificially inflated his practice through some marketing ploy,
he has not fully matured and morphed into the type of doctor his community is looking
for. The results are short lived - and I know that you totally understand what I am
referring to.
That is why those who fall prey to marketing schemes, need to continue to spend
thousands on various marketing and advertising ploys to maintain their present levels
of patient volume.
Why?
Because people leave in droves. But that is the subject of another THOT.
I mention in my Program, that in order for you to be a 500 patient visit/week doctor,
you must have mentally and spiritually already have "arrived." Your heart, your mind and
your spirit gradually expand and change so that you are slowly able to help increasing
numbers of people - Innate will never send you more than you can handle in your present
state of Being. In other words, you must already be there long before your stats tell you
that you are.
You must taste it, feel it, touch it, and be it.
So...in order to help more people and save more children, you must change. You must
shed those habits and mannerisms, and philosophy which has stopped you from expanding
and helping more than you!
...And that is not an instant-on process. ...and it may require periods of uncertainty, fear,
confusion, and doubt, and perhaps even a crisis! And that's Ok. Most of us only grow when
we have a crisis.
So...go out there and have yourself a crisis! Enjoy it!
And know that at the other end of it, you will be a person who is worth something!
And that you'll then enjoy the fruits of your "obstacles!"
Listen.....It has been said that you measure a Man by the size of shoes he wears.
You need to change your shoes regularly - a bigger size each time!
Now go and change your shoes!
Warmest wishes to all,
Dr. Ogi Ressel
PS: There will be no THOT next week - I'll be teaching Module II in Clearwater Beach.
I'll talk with all of you in two weeks!
Here is your affirmation for this week:
My Future is Glorious!
I now live in limitless Love, Light and Joy!
All is well in my World!
