Is this the missing link between you and success?

As I wrap up my weekend, I am about to begin another week doing what I love and sharing the ideas of health, wealth, and abundance with the lives I have the privilege of touching everyday in the office. I know how powerful of an impact these concepts and universal principles have had on my life, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to share these concepts with the plethora of people I come into contact with everyday. Every day I have the opportunity to transforms peoples’ lives. Every day I get to unlock the infinite healing potential each person has to express greater levels of health, energy, and vitality through the chiropractic adjustment. Every day I have the opportunity to educate and inspire people to see the good in their life rather than the bad; the abundance rather than the lack; the love rather than the hate; the gratitude rather than the want. Every day I am continually working on becoming a better communicator, a better adjustor, and a better person so I have a better ability to touch and transform lives. The reality is if you are not able to transform your life, how can you ever expect yourself to transform others lives? You can’t! It all begins with you. If begins with the commitment to excellence in your life. It begins with being a role model for other people and setting an example other people can follow. It comes from a regular process of introspection. Analyzing your strengths and your weaknesses and determining where progress can be made.

I have read many person development and success books and some say to work on your strengths and others say to focus on your weaknesses. Some say to only focus on your strengths and hire people to take care of your weaknesses and others say to focus on your weaknesses because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. I tend to resonate more with the concept of focusing on your strengths but I believe a very important component is being left out. What if you only focus on your strengths but you have a weakness that is critical to your position, job or career? For example, if I am a chiropractor and I am the world’s greatest adjustor but I am unable to communicate what I do effectively, am I ever going to reach my full potential in the amount of lives I am able to impact? I love the concept of focusing on your strengths and hiring people whose greatest strengths are your weaknesses, but make sure that the weaknesses are not a vital component to you doing your job to the greatest degree. I find it very easy to focus on my strengths and disregard my weakness but I am realizing more and more it is going to create a ceiling for my success. The only way I can raise that ceiling is by continuing to focus on my strengths but also work on my weaknesses that I am unable to pass on to anybody else. What have you been avoiding in your life that is crucial to your success? What may be the missing link that if corrected may be the piece that synergizes all of your strengths into an unstoppable force? Find that connection and live with an attitude of gratitude and be astounded by direction your life begins to take.
