Spring, by Dr. Ogi Ressel

Warm hellos to everyone!

I simply love Spring!
The green you see at this time is seen at no other time of year -
it is fresh. It is vibrant.
It is poised for Greatness.  Spring is a time of renewal - just like you!
It is a time of budding. A time of rebirth. And a time of waking up from
a deep slumber. It is a symbolic time. We look to Spring with anticipation.
Why is that? What does it mean for us? It signifies a deep connection that
we have with Innate. Think of this for a moment: We are all connected to
the vibrational energy of the Universe. We are all connected to it at a
level that is difficult to explain. Someone once said that we are Human
Beings having a Spiritual experience. I disagree. We are spiritual Beings
having a Human experience. We are on this Human ride in the Amusement
park of the Universe. And our ride is measured in nano-seconds. A blip.
A small wrinkle in the fabric of Life.

So.......Spring is the perfect time for you to reconnect with Innate - the
energy of the Universe - and reaffirm your purpose.

It is also the perfect time for you to 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. And you do this by connecting with people. Not by selling, not
by fear tactics executed brilliantly in the name of Christ, not by glitz, not by
marketing your brain out, and not by trying to "convert" them! No. You do
this at a level of communication where you are able to look into the eyes
of your patient with infinite love and understanding and have a total knowingness.
And they read you! You are connected at a level which transcends trying to sell
them on Chiropractic. Where you practice at a level where people need
you - you do not "need" them. You are not needy!

You see...getting what you want is not about more "stuff". No. It is about
returning to what you are. It is about reconnecting with the energy which
is the Universe - and you are an integral part of it - just like your patients.
It is about your patients recognizing that same vibrational force inside you
as resides inside each of them. When that happens, few words need to be
said - they "get" what you do and what you are. You see...if you realized
the Perfection that you are, you'd also realize that you cannot fail! It is not
an option!!

Ok....I know that this is a bit "heavy duty" but it is vital for you to rise
above your fight for survival and let people know what you do and are.

Let me give you an example:
Two years ago, I met a gentleman outside of our seminar room in
Clearwater, Fl., who was attending a boating seminar next door to ours.
He was engrossed in reading our Module II notes left on the registration table.
And he was amazed at what he read. He said, "I wish I knew that Chiropractic
can help children affected with Colic. I would have had my kids to a chiropractor
years ago, 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 "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?

Listen up....In case you didn't get this from my earlier THOTS: This is not
some cool profession that you were lucky to stumble onto. 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? Listen.....Reconnect with that amazing power
that turns the planets. 

Reconnect with your patients. Communicate with them what you do. You
need to get this: 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......I need to tell you
this - you are not in practice to be liked. This is not some social club.  
You are not here to make friends.

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,
