Visionary thinking requires a system for it to be successful. Objective Straight Chiropractic is a system. Getting bigger, richer, or more famous or powerful for self outside of a system ultimately fails in creating a fulfilling life. It’s like unrelated snapshots in an album, nice but no story or message, no purpose or meaning. A … Read more
Recently, I have been thinking about the irony of our profession. As chiropractors, we talk about living innately, practicing innately, adjusting innately, thinking innately and acting innately.
