Can you see past the obvious? Can you read between the lines, and really understand what is being said, without it being said? That is the key to successful communication. Often patients will tell you the reason why they are there, but that is not the REAL reason. It's just the first thing they are thinking of. It takes skill to sift through and get to the root cause.

Have you seen Comet Neowise? It is a magnificent display of universal intelligence in action. It has all this potential as it approaches the earth, but can hardly be detected. Then that potential energy turns into kinetic energy as it lights up while bouncing on the earth's atmosphere. Just like our health...all this potential but it has to interact with lots of health deposits in order to really shine! In the US and Canada it can be seen now in the northern sky 1 hour after sunset. Check out this link from NASA: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/how-to-see-comet-neowise

One of my favorite words is 'next!' When things go off target, what's the next step? When you swing and miss, what do you correct next time? What's next after the pandemic? What are you learning now that will get you to the next place? Join Dr Rubin and Kenton for part 2 of his interview.

We have seen some remarkable pivoting by business owners who took their professions in a new direction and thrived during this pandemic. One such person is Katie, a real estate agent friend of Dr. Rubin's who is selling more houses than before COVID-19! Her story is a great lesson for us all on how to be unstoppable!

My friend Kenton told me a few weeks ago that in the next 16 to 24 months there will be an economic boom similar to the boom that happened after World War II. I decided to interview him for this podcast so we can all hear his positive thoughts, changing the format of this podcast. After massive destruction comes massive exponential growth. Especially in areas of technology healthcare and education. Education has proven that it’s more babysitting in the US than actual learning. Healthcare is proven it could not take care of his people because it’s really not healthcare.

Look at your new feed recently? How do you make sure you are not being pulled down by the negativity of it all? By being very selective about what you engage with. Only read/listen/watch the articles that are either going to give you more information that will be useful, or that is more positive. It's easy to get sucked into the vortex of negative news. Try to make the experience more useful and meaningful by being a filter of the information you let in.

Time marches on. Are you growing or just existing? According to Jim Rohn, your character is determined by the people you are around, the books you read, and the seminars you attend. Are you making the best of those things? Is next year going to be a repeat of this year, or are you constantly looking to improve, learn, become a more and better version of you?

'What greater joy' is there than knowing you can help children, adults, and pregnant mommas with chiropractic? "You never know how far reaching something you think say or do will affect the lives of millions tomorrow," said BJ Palmer. These are challenging times but are also times filled with potential and opportunity.

Chiropractic school gives you an education but doesn't 'make' you a chiropractor. You have to move that education from your head to your heart, and only then can it really come through your hands. Then we can truly change lives not by 'moving bones' but by moving people, by moving them to be inspired to be a better version of themselves.

"If you were the last chiropractor on earth, would chiropractic survive?" asked Reggie Gold, one of my favorite chiropractic philosophers. With the pandemic and everybody's offices shifting to a different way of practicing, is chiropractic surviving in your community? Students about to graduate should look upon this time and realize that there has never been a better opportunity to show the world what chiropractic really has to offer.
