Potential

I love fall! Its my favorite time of year. I love the briskness in the air and the smell of campfires. Wrapping in a blanket with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. Fall is the time for apple picking, apple cider donuts, corn mazes, hayrack rides and pumpkin flavored . . . everything. And I love the changing kaleidoscope of colors in the trees and in the sky. And one day, while relishing the feel of Fall, a thought struck me . . . well, next to me. One tiny acorn.

I didn’t think about the fact that we had an oak tree in our yard. I don’t remember the falling acorns last year. And you’d think I would remember, its like someone is hammering on our roof or throwing rocks at our windows. There have been a few times, I thought someone was breaking in. But its just the acorns, lots and lots of acorns. You have to be careful, when walking to the front door, not to get pelted in the head with one. But I digress, the acorn.

The acorn is a marvel. In that tiny little nut, there is a seed, a potential for a mighty oak tree. Something greater than its present state. But for that to happen, the acorn has to be in the right conditions. It needs the right soil, the right water supply and the right amount of sunlight. And this got me thinking, we as humans, start as tiny cells, that multiply and develop as we grow in the womb. Then we mature to the adults that we are.

One thing that sets us apart from the acorn, is we can change our environment. We are not stuck where we are dropped. Given the right conditions, the proper environment, we can flourish. Chiropractic helps to unlock your potential, by giving your body the right conditions to function and flourish. Inside all of us there is a seed, a potential for something mighty. Will you unlock your potential?
