Tip #8

Everyday for the last 12 years I have made popcorn in my office. This is something I love to do and not only do my patients love it but they have come to expect it. Now while you do not have to make popcorn to have a wildely successful office there are four or more tips which can be learned from this and we will cover all of them eventually (learn from your surroundings; do what makes you happy, when you build expectations - people expect and there is potential in everything).

Tip #4 - There is Potential in Everything - Explode your Potential

There is a lot we can learn from the little things in life. One day while making popcorn in the office I got to thinking how much life is life a batch of uncooked popcorn. What we start with is not our outcome but when we understand our potential, things become a little bit more exciting. Case in point:

To most, a bag of popcorn is just that, a bag of popcorn. What I see is a bag full of unrealized potential that when given the right amount of encouragement (heat or action potential) and when surrounded by others with the same or greater potential will we can experience our highest and best potential.

One kernel of porcorn by itself, while still good, will never become great. It need to be surrounded by others who are seeking to explode their potential also. Surround yourself with those kind of people. Birds of a feather flock together. Surround yourself with winners or losers - it is your choice.

Popcorn needs the right elements to become all it can be. It needs the right kind of oil and the right amount of heat - to little and its potential is never realized - to much and it burns. Neither is good. Find your balance. Once you get your fire burning you can not just sit in one place, like popcorn, you need to be agitated a bit ie; take your brain out and dance on it evey now and again(Einstein). If you sit on the fire to long you will burn so keep moving.

Some pieces like some people will never realize their full potential, they get removed from the mix. Stick with the winners. Remove toxic people and events from your life.

Popcorn is better with a little seasoning on it. Spice your life up.
Popcorn starts out as one little kernel but like people, it has a huge expansion ratio. We all start out in the unrealized potential state but in the right element and with the right encouragement and in the right environment, everyone has the opportunity to explode their potential and their practice.

I encourage you today to develop your potential and explode your opportunities.
