Over the past few weeks, a powerful message has resonated with me: *You get to choose.* And it's not just about my choices—it's about yours too. You get to choose what brings meaning into your life. You get to choose a life of purpose over a life driven by need or want. You get to choose something more profound than rhetoric or the monotony of drudgery.
In the world of Animal Chiropractic, this choice becomes even more significant. As animal chiropractors, you get to choose who you serve, how often you serve them, and how you structure your practice. This profession offers the freedom to set boundaries, ensuring that your career not only provides income but also aligns with your values, passions, and life goals.
I’ve witnessed animal chiropractors who have successfully crafted practices where they work just three days a week, maybe 15 hours total, and yet they’re earning more than they did in their previous jobs. These professionals also find themselves with more time to spend with their families, better case management, and a greater ability to help both animals and people thrive. This is what choosing a life of meaning looks like—balancing professional success with personal fulfillment.
When doctors decide to pursue an Animal Chiropractic lifestyle, they’re making a conscious choice between a typical job, often an associateship, and a career that truly aligns with who they are. In conventional roles, there’s often pressure to meet quotas, log income, and conform to expectations that don’t always reflect your true passions. This pressure can lead to burnout, a state where you’re no longer operating in your zone of genius.
What’s the difference between the zone of excellence and the zone of genius? The zone of excellence encompasses tasks you’re good at but may not necessarily bring you joy. The zone of genius, however, is where you connect deeply with others, find your life’s purpose, and do what you’re meant to do.
How many of you have felt a calling at some point in your life—a moment where you knew you were meant for something more, something significant? That’s the feeling you get when you’re living in your zone of genius. It’s when you know you’re doing what you were born to do, and it brings a profound sense of meaning to your life.
As animal chiropractors, or as doctors of veterinary medicine and chiropractic, you get to choose this meaningful life. You get to choose a career that supports your community, your family, and your sense of purpose. And most importantly, you get to choose when and how you want to live this life.
