Creating Your Own Miracle - 2/22/2009

In 1997 I had the privilege of standing on a seminar stage, in front of a huge audience, to introduce a revolutionary new and exciting approach to the subject of “Success,” regardless of how each individual defined that word for themselves.

Before then, my teachings were predominantly “Strategy-Based,” filling client’s heads with “what to do procedures” so they would become more successful.  The problem was that the strategy-based approach of just giving actions steps for achievement only worked for a while, and only up to a certain level of achievement. Then there was a void, and a plateau.

Over time I become conscious of the fact that different people got different results using the same exact strategies and I began to recognize there was a missing ingredient.

That discovery was the driving force behind the creation of the unique and very different “Identity-Based” approach to guiding chiropractors toward greater personal growth and practice achievement.  I learned, after 16 years of using the strategy-based approach, that there was more to achieving success and happiness than just a list of action steps – even if they were good ones.

I learned that, “Who someone was on the inside, determined the results they achieved” and this revelation needed to be the masthead of that first seminar, held all those years ago in Chicago.

I stood at center stage, my heart pounding with excitement and started my new journey.  The opening words are still etched in my mine. They were words taken from a wonderful poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.  It went like this:

What if you slept?  And what if, in your sleep you dreamed?  And what if, in your dream you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower?  And what if, when you awoke, you had that flower in your hand?

Taking literary license, I “Marksonized” the poem and the reprise went like this:

What if you slept?  And what if, in your sleep you dreamed?  And what if in your dream you were happy, healthy and content, had the best personal life you could imagine and the practice of your dreams?  And what if, when you awoke it was all real.

Obviously, I believed then and still ardently believe today that your thoughts dreamed or better yet, vividly pictured and imagined in a conscious state can and will become your reality in the tangible and concrete physical world we live in.

In fact, the comprehension of this Law of the Universe, was a huge catalyst in my decision to change my future coaching and career into a more expansive, dynamic and powerful model of teaching success.

And, over the years now I have witnessed a great metamorphosis of other organizations and they have added the “Identity” component to their own companies.  Good for them!

Now my goal is to show my individual coaching clients about how to create miracles for themselves, in their own practices and lives.

During each session I emphasize to the doctors that I coach, that success, happiness and fulfillment are not about luck, but about learning to create a way of thinking and believing that is larger than merely building a bigger practice. It has to do with building a more significant LIFE.

I am attempting to create a program for them that goes far beyond a laundry list of “what to do” strategies and superficial pep-talks or encouragement…and takes them to a wondrous place where they will begin to discover a new realm of human experience.

A place where they come to know for sure that deep within them is a universal resource of unlimited potential…and unless they get to believe that to be absolutely true…then, they get to believe exactly what limitations will be allowed to interfere with their ability to tap into this incredible potential.

I firmly believe that it is all about being congruent, which means that we actually spend our lives walking our walk and talking our talk.

I love to share my unshakable belief and internal knowing that you can manifest in your life all you seek in your physical world. And, that there are NO LIMITS for the select few among you who choose to transform yourself into a turned-on, tuned-in turbo charged you that has identified your own weaknesses and developed resources to overcome them.

In the long run it is about becoming the kind of person who is in possession of a “higher awareness” that is capable of attracting, just at the right time” persons or things that can help you create the abundance you want.  It is about changing yourself into the kind of person who enjoys a loving relationship, a thriving practice, a healthy body and a mind that, with effortless ease, only allows you to see positive outcomes.  That is the miracle!
