Life is about doing, searching, achieving and that is where True Grit comes in play.<\/h2>\n

On a bright September morning in 1975 I attended my first class at chiropractic college, CMCC<\/a> in Toronto, one of\u00a0 a little over 200 kids.\u00a0 It was pretty scary, I was in a new city, didn\u2019t know anyone and was about to start out on a career that would shape and define my life.<\/p>\n

By the time the Christmas break rolled around, our class had shrunk down to 150 kids.\u00a0 One quarter, 25% of the starting class had dropped out!\u00a0 And that\u2019s what I\u2019d like to write about today.<\/p>\n

Look at any child, how curious they are, how full of life and adventure they seem to be, trying to take charge of their world.\u00a0 And then, along the way, many become passive, they give up trying to be in control and settle for survival, taking a passive role in life.\u00a0 And as adults, how many people who feel that they are at the bottom of the totem pole accept their reality as their fate?<\/p>\n

Whether it is at home or at the office, \u00a0many people seem to be in a state of frustrated acceptance of their situation.\u00a0 They have given up trying to be all they can be.\u00a0 An uncle of mine, long since past away, spent his entire career in the post office telling everyone how he hated his job, his supervisors, and on and on.\u00a0 But wait until I retire, he would say, then I\u2019ll have my pension.\u00a0 As I said, he has long since past away.\u00a0 His pension is gone and his legacy is what??\u00a0 That he toughed out his job that he detested to get a great pension?<\/p>\n

It makes you wonder, doesn\u2019t it?\u00a0 What do you think?<\/p>\n

Searching for meaning is part of who every person is.\u00a0 It is in our genes and is what makes civilization move forward. If you are feeling that there should be more in your life, check this out <\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>as this is an opportunity to help yourself get unstuck, to get out of your rut.<\/p>\n

As for that 25% of my freshman class, makes me wonder where they ended up, if they couldn’t even stick it out for 3 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
