Loosely speaking, to graduate means the above title...to move on, to take the next step in the process of your life. It's graduation at Life University today and the men and women who spent the last 4 years of their lives with countless hours of stress and study (and a bit of fun!) get to go to the next level. The graduation doesn't allow them success or significance, it simply offers them the opportunity to create it for themselves. Walking across the stage doesn't get them anything other than the privilege to serve humanity on a scale that they choose. High-volume, cash, low-volume, insurance, high or low overhead, associateship, independent contract, solo practice, somewhere in the US, somewhere abroad...you get to choose how much, how many, who they are, where, the results you expect, etc...you get to choose!! It's all up to you!
What a phenomenal opportunity!
I'd love to leave the post today with the last written words of B.J. Palmer, DC...they certainly ring true today as a group of new doctors enters our glorious and noble profession, but they also serve as a beautiful reminder to you warriors out there in the trenches who are giving, loving, serving and doing every single day for the betterment of humanity.
“Time always has and always will perpetuate those methods which better serve mankind. Chiropractic is no exception to that rule. My illustrious father placed that trust in my keeping, to keep it pure and unsullied or defamed. I pass it on to you unstained, to protect, as he would have you do. As he passed it on so will I. We admonish you to keep this principle and practice unadulterated and unmixed. Humanity needed then what he gave us. You need now what I give you. Out there in those great open spaces are multitudes seeking what you possess. The burdens are heavy; responsibilities are many; obligations are providential; but the satisfaction of traveling the populated highways and byways, relieving suffering and adding millions of years to millions of lives of millions of suffering people, will bring forth satisfaction and glories with greater blessings than you think. Time is of the essence. May God flow from above-down. His bounteous strengths, courage and understanding to carry on; and may your Innates receive and act on that free flow of Wisdom from above-down; inside-out ... for you have in your possession a Sacred Trust. Guard it well.”
Go forth and serve my fellow Chiropractors...
The world is waiting.
