A word bigger than purpose, certainty or intention?

by Joe Mannella, DC

We all know deeply how important our individual purpose, certainty and intentions are in relationship to the success of our lives and practice, and I’m not suggesting anything should be taken away from that understanding. What I’d like to have all doctors consider is that there’s another word that precedes purpose, certainty and intentions – the single most important word that moves us and allows everything else to be created like our purpose, certainty, and intentions.

That word is “honor.” Nothing happens until you honor something. Without honoring something, you don’t put a purpose into it. Without honoring something you don’t have a need to create certainty into it. Without honoring something, you don’t form any intentions.

Once you take this on and look at everything this way, you’ll see yourself not procrastinating, making excuses, or complaining anymore. It will focus you on what’s really important to you. The fact of your willingness to honor it or not will be your gauge.

I’m frequently asked by my Disc Institute and Decompression Flight School clients how I do all that I do. They basically ask me to tell them my secret to success. And I always say that my willingness to do things at my high standards and get the breakthroughs and success I have is directly related to how much I honor the disc, the disc patient […]
