Staying Up In A Down World

Today we are bombarded with negativity and lack mindedness. Society thrives on the drama of what the media creates thru fear. FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real! You must remove yourself from being captured by the lies and deception of the world that will spin you further and further from what God has intended for your life. These are 3 simple steps to ensuring your focus on the task at hand!

First and foremost; think on these things! Phil 4:8 instructs specific thinking for our daily walk. If we begin each day focused on the things God has intended our days will be filled with those things. As a man thinks so is he. So I ask you, where do you thoughts begin each day. Are they filled with negative, self-destroying and lack focused? Or, are you giving praise in all things, being filled with the joy of the spirit? The way you begin and continue your day will determine the peace and success of that day.

Joshua 1:8 says; “Do not let this book of LAW depart from you mouth, MEDIATE on it DAY and NIGHT, so that you may be careful to do EVERYTHING written in it. THEN you WILL BE PROSPEROUS AND SUCCESSFUL!” Sounds easy, but the enemy never takes a day off and will attack every chance he gets. Keep your thoughts focused!

Secondly, Keep Moving! In life you are going one of two directions, either forward or backward. Ask yourself, if you have ever stayed exactly where you where? No, we never stay exactly the same. You are either getting better or worse, healthier or sicker, closer to God or further away. So movement is critical! Here are some simple ways to ensure your moving forward. Self-training, team training, more office promos and giving. Each of the listed items is very complex and only you can answer were you are weak. But, regardless, you must keep moving in a forward direction to keep your self up when everyone else is down.

The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price.” “It’s time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever – the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.” Both by; Vince Lombardi

Lastly, “Do whatever it takes!” Are you willing? Will you sacrifice? Will you commit? Will you surrender to the process or keep doing the same thing over and over? Evaluate every detail of your life and practice and do whatever it takes to stay up! Simple office changes; the music, color, patient flow, table location, asking for referrals, release a team member, fire a patients, wear a tie, work smarter not harder, increase the WOW for patients. Nike says Just do it! Only you know what IT is to get IT done. So determine what IT is and put IT into action.

BJ Palmer said; Early to bed, early to rise work like H*** and advertise! Will you do what it takes to stay up in a down world?

God Bless, Dr Paul

I had a new patient yesterday, a gruff older man wearing a Raiders shirt, hat, and watch....

He was in a lot of pain, and said, “ I already know about chiropractic. I’ve been going for years. It’s right HERE,” as he pointed to his PSIS on his right side. “Just adjust it and let me get on my way,” he said.

We’ve all been there. The question is, how big is your vision for someone like that? I asked him the C-factor question, and he looked at me like I was insane. He answered nonetheless, although very briefly. Then he was mad when I told him I wasn’t adjusting him till I’d viewed the X-rays. Again, we’ve all been there.

At the front desk, he refuses to schedule his wife, because, “I make all my own decisions; she’s got nothin’ to do with me,” (exact quote.) I called him and left him a message last night that his wife has to be there to support him, and that we get results no one else will.

So he came in for his first adjustment this morning, and I adjusted him and told him he needed to bring his wife. I went through the script, but he wasn’t budging one millimeter. His face was like flint. So I just said, “JD, I’m asking you to trust me just a little bit. I’ve seen results in situations like yours that no other office will get. But we have to do it my way. If you can just trust me you’ll get better than you can possibly imagine right now. Whaddya say?”

He scheduled with his wife. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I know I’ve done my job, I haven’t caved in on a very-important policy, and I’ve done my job to change the atmosphere and save his life. The rest is up to him…and his wife.

All the best,

Dr. Todd

Be, Do, Have…The Habits of Success

"Successful people are successful because they form the habits of doing those things that failures don't like to do."
~ Albert Gray


Warriors, this is a follow up to the call we did this past Tuesday. As Dr Todd and I have said over and over again we become the habits that we have developed over the years. Which habits have you formed that are preventing you from becoming the warrior Christ has intended you to become? Which habits are you avoiding for fear of failure? Its time we get fed up with Mediocrity and begin living the life worthy of your calling. You’re calling as a Chiropractor, Spouse, Father, Mentor and Leader of your community. Who is going to be next to step out? Will it be you? We need to get a “World Changer” attitude, one, which doesn’t accept second place, one that works harder than the guy next door, one which rises earlier and stays up later knowing the World needs what you hold. It’s time, lets go.

Email Dr Todd and I if you are committed to becoming a “World Changer.” Simply say yes, I am committed to making a difference, I will eliminate bad habits and incorporate new good habits for the betterment of my community. Together we can accomplish more!

Here are the many of the habits it takes to become a champion!

God’s Best, Dr Paul

Daily exercise (aerobic & anaerobic)
Daily stretching
Fruits & Veggies (eat light)
Water only (no alcohol or soda)

Today - He is Counting on You & Me

by Dr. Todd Royse

I just heard one more story yesterday from a patient about a 41-year-old man who just died of cancer, leaving his 38-year-old wife and 2 children, 14 and 12. He fought cancer in a 5-year-long battle with medical doctors to defeat and kill the disease. Fighting darkness with more darkness, his body finally succumbed.

How have we come to accept as okay that 1 out of 3 of the sons and daughters of God in the United States will die from something that we're perfectly capable of defeating with LIGHT and LIFE in the body? The kingdom of darkness has pulled a veil over our eyes till we now believe that taking care of our HEALTH with Chiropractic, good nutrition, exercise, rest, and prayer are not enough.


So when there is so little life and light in our body from above-down, inside-out that the body makes cancer, we fight with more darkness: chemicals that try to kill parts of the body off. When God found His people far from His perfect plan in swearing, deception, murder, stealing, adultery, and violence in Jerusalem, He cried out through the prophet Hosea, "my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."

But then, as now, He appointed prophets to come and stand in the gap between the world that He created in light and the darkness of the time. Today we find ourselves with so much disease and sickness that it would disgust anyone taking an honest look at it. Today He is counting on YOU AND ME, on the one profession He created to stand in the gap and contend for the peoples' bodies, the temples of His Holy Spirit, and bring them out of darkness, CHIROPRACTIC!

How many cancers have disappeared because adjustments released life to flow into a pancreas that was making cancer? How many cancers have been prevented by proper Chiropractic care from birth? No one knows, but every specific adjustment made gets every patient we have further from darkness and closer to optimal LIGHT! Docs, get out today and tell the truth about above down inside out. Save someone's life by telling them the un-filtered, un-watered-down, un-mixed truth of ChiropracTIC to set the captives free.

You've been given a gift. Share it with the world.

Are We Playing to Win?

by Dr. Todd Royse

How we see the end has everything to do with how we behave right now. For example, let's say that you were a billionaire (YES!) restoring a 1927 hot rod, and you told the shop owner restoring your car that cost was not an issue, and you wanted everything PERFECT, every screw, bolt, rivet, stitch absolutely flawless. He worked on the car for the first few weeks making it perfect, and in the middle of the project he discovered that you were going to put the car in a demolition derby as soon as he was done.


Would that affect the way he built the car? Definitely! He would not put nearly the focus and commitment into making everything perfect. I think sometimes that's how we are treating this world and our patients. Like the world's going to pot under the medical model of life so let's just crawl into a hole and wait assuming it's gonna get worse. What could we possibly do to make enough of an impact? GRRRRRR!

Many of us apply this to health care and to our practices too. That pharmakeia will increase, the world will be on more drugs, and that heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, as well as every autoimmune and degenerative condition will skyrocket, as we've seen recently. That there will be 300 vaccines given to every child and there will be no way around it. Don't get me started!

How we see the end has everything to do with how we behave right now! Those with thriving practices see the current problem we face, but we know that God and His Above-Down Inside Out, Chiropractic model will PREVAIL! They live every day ASSUMING THE BEST for their practices, their patients, and for where we're headed! They KNOW that, as Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again!," and, "We SHALL overcome!" They are not crawling into a little hole when they face a challenge, they are coming out with their swords drawn and are first in the battle, knowing that IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME!

Just Do It!

Take up your sword and be blessed

Change Your Thinking to Change Your Life

by Dr. Todd Royse

We demolish arguments at every pretention that sets itself up against the knowledge or God, and take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ - 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV)

Doing the same things over and over expecting different results is insanity. The only way to get different results is to change what we do. The process of change begins in our minds. Our thoughts help shape and create our circumstances in life. Living life abundantly is a continuous process of training and transforming our minds to achieve optimal living.

Thoughts become words.
Words become actions.
Actions become habits.
Habits become character.
Character becomes destiny.

Thoughts + Words +Actions + Habits + Character=Destiny

Get "in state" for the week-- take time each morning to visualize how you want your day to flow, down to the detail. Fill your mind w/ prayer and positive thoughts. If a negative thought tries to seep into your mind, say "cancel, cancel" or consciously bless the situation and move on. You can do it!

Be Bold as a Lion

by Dr. Todd Royse

The wicked flee though no one is pursuing, but the righteous are as bold as a lion. - Prov. 28:1

Is above-down, inside-out the truth or is it a lie? Is Chiropractic the truth or is it a lie? It is either one or the other! Every day you get up, you make a decision, whether conscious or unconscious, to hide behind watered-down, back-pain chiropractic, accepting into your life and practice "drippings from the table of the outside-in world," or to be committed to truth and ultra success.

The one difference in ultra-successful docs and the ones who get by is in their boldness. Do you flee from the truth or do you tell the truth in your daily visits, your doctor's report, your consultations, phone calls, etc? Today make a decision. Are you going to accept that you are fully righteous in what you do, or are you going to flee though no one pursues?

A 'warrior' asks, "What will happen if I don't take this risk?" Average people ask, "What will happen if I fail?" -Brian Klemmer
