Once upon a time someone explained chiropractic to you. The penny dropped and you started getting adjusted. Eventually you were inspired to pursue chiropractic as a career. Since then you've probably spent enormous amounts of energy trying to find the way to recreate that explanation so you could motivate others as you were.

This has prompted some to take on the burden of winning over uninterested patients and even strangers, overlooking the adage, "When the student is ready, the teacher appears."

What you may have forgotten is that you were ready. Few are. In fact, there's little you can do to make them ready. Instead, your mission is to tell your story, simply and respectfully to those who are interested, trusting that when they are ready they will take action. If not now, maybe someday. Since you can't control the outcome, don't try. Tell the truth and trust the process.
