Success Is Not An Accident by Tommy Newberry
Just finished another great book, Success Is Not An Accident by Tommy Newberry. Here’s some things I highlighted and wrote in my journal.
Disturbing Statistics about Long Term Care in the US
1 in 8 Americans (13% or 40.3 million) are 65 or older
Percentage of all federal domestic spending that goes to the elderly: 46%
My OUCH moment this week
These are Ouch Moments….. when someone says something to you that feels like a band aid ripped off your arm or when you stub your toe….OUCH. Mine came when one of my patients said something to the effect, “I didn’t know chiropractic could help with that.” And the “that” was something so obviously related to the biomechanics of the spine and nerve system, that I yelled a huge OUCH in my head. Had a really failed to convey the message of chiropractic so poorly? OUCH I had.
Thank You
Healthcare spending, currently at $1.7 trillion, will soon be 1/5 of our economy. Even more sobering ½ of the money will come from the government. In other words, it’ll come from YOU and your tax dollars. And where will that money spent? Well hospitals, doctor’s visits and prescription medicine will eat up most of the money.
So I Started a New Habit…
The other day I was reaching far back into a kitchen cabinet for a bowl when I spotted a crystal Tiffany water pitcher I received as a wedding present. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve used it. Yet it is beautiful. So I pulled it out, washed it and filled it with filtered water. Then up on the night stand it went with a pretty glass cup.
