Happiness

Happiness...what creates happiness? Is it getting better at something or is it being less of something?  Neither because you are always DOing...it's the journey that brings you happiness, not the destination.

So many people, including myself up until a few years ago, are so focused on that end-point, the destination, that will provide the with happiness, that they lose the joy along the way...the DO of who they are working to BE or the HAVE.

So as I share with you today, and you can start DOing today, start your journey and along the path happiness surrounds you in all forms, look around, silence your mind and open your heart and you will see happiness all around you.

It took me years to figure this out, and the last few months I have deeply begun to focus on my journey, and as I go on this journey, I am documenting the process, journaling MY personal destination, there is joy in that process, but there is far greater joy in reviewing the process. Both allow me to ENJOY the moment, as I am doing and reflecting.

Each day you are on a journey, you are creating your legacy, you just don't know what it will bring, but what you can know is to start enjoying the journey, each day have soulful happiness in your journey, BE here right now, BE present with the moment and silence yourself to that moment.  Keep silent in your mind, remove the noise, or better yet don't even allow the noise IN and the day, the journey will be pure happiness.

Have complete disregard to the toxins or "plastic" around you that is attempting, but YOU are stopping, RIGHT...to come into your mind, because YOU have committed today to enjoying the journey, knowing that your destination is YOUR legacy.

Know that right now, if you are asked where are you, your reply is HERE, and who are you...ME and the journey becomes YOUR.

BE, have fun...

Can't BUY It...

You can't "BUY" it but you can earn it "BUY" creating pure authentic value into the lives of others...it's as simple as that.  Sadly in our society of today the plastic is taking over, I don't mean the plastic that is floating around creating the pollution we have in the world...oh wait I do...the "plastic" is creating pollution in the world!!!

But the plastic that is taking over the world, and WE are going to melt the plastic and mold a new a better world...how, simple BE who you are and WHO you wish to BE.  The plastic that refuses to change, let it go, and soon that plastic will become obsolete, and guess what, they know it, they just don't want to change.  So what that plastic will do will just hang on to the fence and blow in wind and become annoying, to the point that soon it will change into what is right or will be "picked" up and recycled.

Creating the value into the lives of others, instead of "BUYING" it is easy, BE the best version of you to everyone, extend that hand, accept others for who they are and if the plastic does not want to accept ( and they may blow into your yard and attempt to pollute you or bring more garbage with them...cause it does happen that way...just know that soon, OBSOLETE will be their new definition) and then start molding and creating a new and better world.

Now, try this...shut off the noise in your head, cease listening to the trash that is in your mind and it keeps polluting your mind.  Silence yourself as much as you can, and this process will take time, energy and work, but that's the beauty of it...when you silence the noise of you and BEgin to listen to the beauty around you, i.e., the sound of water, the noise grass makes in the wind, leaves moving with nature, the laughter of children, or the "noise" that occurs in the embrace of a friend or loved one...one word occurs EPIC!!!

Do this a 10-15 minutes per day, daily, then soon you become excited to the peace that it brings you, the tranquility that occurs and a whole new world that is created for you.  And better yet...the garbage that the plastic continues to throw your way, doesn't matter..then that is when PEACE occurs in you...then you begin to "earn" the life you deserve and will melt those around you to create the life they deserve.

As BJ Palmer, DC said "It's as Simple as that," so today to cease making it so hard and create simplicity.

And more importantly YOU make everything about something, and watch what happens.

BE YOU, have fun...

Freedom!!!

Free your mind.  I first heard those words 13 years ago and "thought" I knew what they meant, and have recited those very words for the past 13 years ago acting like a "Ninja" thinking I got it!!

It wasn't until recently that I actually started to get it, and know those words have more meaning than ever.  Now I am still no Ninja in BEing them, but rather I am a Ninja in training and have declared with boldness that I am dedicated the remainder of my life FREEING MY MIND.  So along this path, every now and then I am going to share with you lessons learned, and wish that you too will free your mind.

The new words that I choose to live with is this..."free your mind and your life will follow."   What happens with so many, and maybe not you, but with me and others I have met, is they wish to live they life they feel will please others or what they "think" society or the culture wants them to.  Instead choose to live your life, the path that you wish to live.  And with society if we do that there is the this fear that others may laugh at you or scold you...which they may do in a group setting, but in the quiet times alone they are crying and wishing they could walk that path, their public judging is their way of "wishing."

What I did, and this may not work for you, or you may think what does this dude know, your call, but what I am sharing is what I found gave me clarity, is turn the volume up, listen to the music, change the frequency to the radio station you want to jam to, and the static will go away, and the tunes are great.

Start BEing spontaneous with life, instead of doing what you may think is culturally acceptable to fit in, STOP, BE you 100% of the time, and have some fun, I DARE YOU...and then guess what, YOU BEcome happy, instead of walking thru life like a zombie, but happy to fit in.  Guess what I know...I was that zombie, until recently, and I am tired of sleeping and living.

When you decide to BEcome you and become a human BEing living extraordinary, you start living...then you wake up. 

So free your mind and your life will follow...and others will choose to follow too.  There is this saying, what else do you have to lose, I say alot...you will lose you and I don't want anyone to lose themselves anymore, it's time bring joy back....and bring YOU back, because YOU are worth it.

BE YOU!!

Keep it REALly YOU....

Without a doubt one of my biggest pet peeves is when one tries to BE what they are not or say/do one thing, but in all reality they are BEing another when one is not seeing.  As Ayn Rand would say, that is a contradiction, and contradictions lead to destruction.
Examples in Chiropractic:  A few weeks ago I attended a seminar, and it is sad to see the direction of my beloved profession going NOT where DD (the founder of ChiropracTIC) wanted it to go.  And to follow up with that, as I drive around towns and see the windows and ads of ChiroPOSERS that say EVERYTHING but CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS in their message...really!!!  Come on, be proud, enjoy what you do, play big at what YOU do...HONOR what the 683 who were imprisoned for you to do.
Example...I know of a ChiroPOSER in my home town that claims to "be" a principled Chiropractor...that means they adjust and avoid the other stuff...massage, accupuncture and foot baths...but they have run ads for foot baths, and in the fine print they will do a nerve screening on you...and in speaking with a member of their business they  said that they did it for money...yes to make money.  Now I am not saying that creating wealth is bad, because when there is value creation all is good... I STRESS VALUE CREATION....but when you are doing something but saying another via your mouth or in your business model...that is a CONTRADICTION.  Simply put you are being a poser!!!  NO!!!  Not allowed!!!
Example...got this from my friend Dr. Jeff May...you cannot change the rules of the game for your convenience.  As it is basketball season, but I want to play differently, I don't want to dribble the ball and I want to slam into people at will, but have more than 5 people on my team,  the hoops lowered for me and raised for the opponent..and still call it basketball.  NOT POSSIBLE...because then it would NOT be called basketball...it would be called something completely different.  And the same goes for Chiropractic...you cannot change the "rules" for you and expect to still call it basketball..if insist on that, then it is called a ChiroPOSER.
Okay, now for the non-Chiropractor.  Facebook amazes me...great tool, but can also be to your disadvantage.  Posting one thing, such as you as you wish to grow your wallet one person at time, or that you are looking out for the greater good of humanity, but then acting differently, or choosing who you do this for... is a contradiction..and it will create destruction in your life.  And without knowing WHY...but there is a reason.
One of the "things" I continue to work on and invest in is ME...without a doubt my greatest investment is me and who I am...from books, audio, viewing, to hiring a "Coach" who has congruent values across the board and to who I associate with...and to be acutely aware of when I become out of balance...and it's an ongoing and eye opening process.
In closing I would like to make it simple...BE AUTHENTICALLY you at all times, stop hiding behind things, people, etc...make your life the no poser zone, and watch how your life happens.

Stop Shoulding on Yourself...

How often when you have those moments of "quiteness," where the cell phones are off, no checking emails and you are actually in a moment of quiet...guess in today's fast paced society that means when you are sleeping.
So before I go any further, feel compelled to let you know...you need those quiet moments in your life where you can reflect, imagine and envision...where you create your life future.  We get caught up in the moments of life, and we forget to take time to dream, before reading any further pull out your planner or cell phone, and create time to dream.  Imagine if you dedicated just, yes I said that word JUST (my major pet peeve minimizing word) set aside 20-30 per day to dream...create your future.  IMAGINE what you would create.  My challenge to you is do this, bare minimum of 2-3 days per week, and WOW could you create a life of whatever you wanted!!!
Stop reading...create time to dream..and wow!!  As Robin Sharma says, "Life's ultimate freedom is living life on our own terms."
With that in mind, back to "SHOULDING." We do that when we lay in bed and reflect on the days "I should have done...."  Well today is your wake up call, how long and how often do you wish to "should," draw the line in the sand, and eliminate regrets.  The beauty of what we get to do in life is create our days, to some extent, granted you cannot control everything, but at least create the foundation fo your days and life.
For health, kind of personal to me, I sadly see everyday Chronic conditions that were very much avoidable.  I cannot recall the source of the article, but I have read where 90% of the health care dollar is spent in the last 6 months of life for Chronic Avoidable conditions.  Just think, you have the choice to live your best life, by making better lifestyle choices.
Life does not come in a bottle..injection...some liquid...Life comes from inside of you.  You create YOU...instead of laying on the couch and thinking about exercising, get up TODAY, right now and start that program.  Instead of picking up the can of Pepsi, grab a bottle of water, instead of eating those few doritos, grab the apple.
I hear so often how people want to change, but yet we make it to complicated, big believer of simplicity and want to make it so you can WIN on each step, and of course have fun.
Homework, look back 3-5 years ago, and think, did you ponder on choosing different health choices, but did not, now think forward 3-5 years, imagine how you will be, will it be better or worse if you don't change?  Today is your wakeup call, start choosing to BE different today.
And this can go into your mental outlook, instead of choosing to be around those stinkin thinkin people, that continue to drag you down, and you have regrets associating with them, do what my wife did, she fired them from her life.  Just think when you release that negative person, it frees you and it frees them...and everyone wins.
Tonight, write down your dream time and pick 3 simple things you want to change in your life, and of course add regular Chiropractic Care!!
Choose to BE the best you...

Hit the brakes....

I recently had the opportunity to be introduced to one of the leading experts in the field on ADD/ADHD, and as a result be invited to go thru the certification program to be a certified SHINE clinic, which stands for Special Help Integrating Neurological Experience, here in Omaha, Nebraska.
Have to tell you one simple word describes not only Dr. Hallowell, Dr Gentempo, the SHINE program and what I am learning WOW.
It is really sad as I dig deeper into the program of how society and the "experts" have treated this classification, not only know but in the past.  Up until recently this "classification" was physically abused by an elder, cause that is what was thot to be the best...up until Dr. Hallowell and the work he is doing, the "experts/elders/allopathetics" then chemically abused them...with drugs!!!  How sad to take of someone in this manner.
To paraphrase what I am learning, and that is what I am going to do in this post and others in which I discuss ADD/ADHD, this is not a disorder, but a trait...but the "experts" treat almost everything like a disease...and of course the course is drugs...yep that's going to solve it!!  WRONG!!!
These children and ADULTS are champions just waiting to be developed, as Dr. Hallowell says..."they have ferrai brains with bicycle brakes," and all we have to do is fix the brakes...and I am going to add to it, via Chiropractic we are not only going to fix brakes, let's make that engine fire just a bit more...and then as a result let's bring the best out of them...and create MASSVIE CHAMPIONS.
Think about this, how many great people out there have been surpressed because they were "not normal," and of course I would like to know what is normal...cause if it is like what society says, I don't want to BE normal...I choose to BE me and ONLY ME...here is what these traits of people possess and wow is all i can see: 1) Creative 2) Innovative 3) Thinking outside the box 4) Dreamers 5) Visionaries 6) Massively generous 7) Sensitive 8) Incredible sense of humor.  Think of any ADD/ADHD person you have met and they posses all of these traits...just, yes I meant to use the just, JUST at such a high level..remember their engine is going.
Anyone that you have know, and we have had the opporunity serve many, they are very strong in the above TRAITS..yes again, meant to use that word.  And if you listen to their parents or "educators" they say the same...but it is at such a BIG level that something has to slow them down.
Well, the "allopaths" instantly want to add more drugs...I mean honestly, think of the health problems out there today, really more drugs.  If drugs worked so good, and I love this one...how it has helped high blood pressure, then how's come we still have such High Blood Pressure situations...if they worked so good people WHO ARE ON THE DRUGS would NOT be dying of it...look at the stats...another blog post down the road.
What we have in ADD/ADHD is this mass amount of energy, that is REALLY curious, a trait the world so deeply needs, this intense, burning curiosity and impulsivity and BIG time energy...combine those without brakes, well, you can figure it out.
So what we are going to do is put the brakes on, find their talents and unwrap this beautiful gift so these talents can be utilized instead of supressed with chemicals, yes I do agree, as does Dr. Hallowell it is a biological imbalance, but NOT given the solution by adding more drugs...NO...let's balance the chemisty and the brain...and open the champion in them.
So, we are offering this week, February 2 at THE SOURCE, 715 South 16th Street, Omaha, NE...a night spent discussing ADD/ADHD, and many more nights.  Throughout the series of Kiroman I am going to address this opening of Champions, and in the end humanity will be so much better off.
With that in mind...I wish for you to BE YOU!!

Enough Excuses...

How often do you wake up early on a morning and say today.."I am going to..." and then as the day goes on you become the master of excuses?  And if you are reading this and saying not me...I challenge your paradigm, because we all have done it at some time in our life or are still doing it...and if you say NOT ME, NEVER...kiroman is calling you out, because you are not all that.

Little aggressive and intense to start out?  But I just spent that past few days with 4000 Chiropractors and Staff, listened to some powerful speakers, shared with some DC's and staff, and spent time with some dear friends in Chiropractic...the latter of which I am eternally grateful for the friendship. 

Why...I made this long 4 days without kirowyf and teenager, and that is hard.  But the DC's and wives that made sure I wasn't going to be lonesome without kirowyf, and I was, because I am headed home early on one of those night flights where I am the only one with his light on!!!  Kind of like that kid that wants to come home from camp early!!

My lesson learned, well take that, of the lessons learned, but the ones I want to hit home on...and not really a Chiropractic topic, but it does fall into the mental aspect of lives...is those that are your friends, make sure they know how you feel when they do things for you.

Stop making excuses that you will do something "nice" for them someday or next time...make it this time right now.  Here is what hit me when I would lay my head down at night and wake up in the morning...I know I have a great wife...and a great daughter in teenager...but I have some great friends and I choose today to never take them for granted...when I say I am going to do something for them I AM...no more excuses of putting it off.  Or if I am "thinking" of doing something for them...I am just going to take action and do it...ENOUGH EXCUSES.

So my challenge to you is this...what kind of excuses are you creating in your head that you are avoiding?  Thinking you can handle them another day?  Imagine the freedom that will be liberated in you?  And the other side the "false friends" that you allow in your life just because...ENOUGH EXCUSES.

So in closing, and I hope I get them all...THANK YOU for making my weekend alone without kirowyf and teenager GREAT...the KCC team for allowing me to travel and share with this beautiful profession, our incredible practice members who support the vision of making our community the healthiest community, Derrell (so proud of you and your award, and seeing you on stage), Lisa, Jay and Casey...aka the TWIN TOWERS, Gilles, Fabrizio, Wanda Lee and Andrew, Peter...oh dude ONLY YOU, my twin brother Nate, Nick, your lovely bride and soon to be future DC, PG and Laurie, my EPIC family and all the members that came up...the luv, open arms and friendship is one word EPIC, Matt and Mikayla,  Garrett the G Man, P for checking in on, Billy D, Glow,  Terry, and finally the dude who has been great friend for years DJ and your awesome wife Nico!!! 

And the best news of all in about 2 hours I get to hug kirowyf...NO EXCUSES!!

BE AUTHENTICALLY AND EPICALLY YOU....

kiroman!
