Jim Collins tells a great story about ultra-disciplined triathlete Dave Scott in his book Good to Great.
"In training, Scott would ride his bike 75 miles, swim 20,000 meters, and run 17 miles - on average, every single day. dave Scott did not have a weight problem! Yet he believed that a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet would give him an extra edge. So, Dave Scott - a man who burned at least 5,000 calories a day in training - would literally rinse his cottage cheese to get the extra fat off."
Are you that disciplined? Are you doing rituals every morning as you start your day? Before every shift? Saying your affirmations, every single day? Putting your body and mind in a state to live extraordinarily?
Or do you just kind of go through your day letting life happen to you?
Being disciplined like this gets you to a new level, and even though rinsing his cottage cheese was a very small thing in the scope of winning 6 Hawaii Ironman's, it was a culmination of all those small things that he did every day that made him a champion.
Your choice.

The same can be said in the chiropractic-patient relationship. Educating your patients bit by bit can create a textbook of knowledge in the end!
