Tent Poster – Two Wolves

Two Wolves

An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them…

“A fight is going on inside me… it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you and every other person, too.”

They thought about this for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather… “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied… “The one you feed.”

More Fun Pics from the CSW Fall Summit

Petty, Michel and Associates recently attended the Chiropractic Society of Wisconsin’s Annual Fall Summit.  The Fall Summit is a great time to get together with others in the profession and share stories of the lives we change on a daily basis.

We always manage to have some team camaraderie also.  Saturday as the sessions began to wind down we held our annual Petty, Michel and Associates photo session.  Shown below are a few of our favorite shots.

Unlike many of the offices we work with our team is scattered across the country which makes it challenging to physically come together as a team. This year we were able to accomplish having everyone present, and a few extras, for cocktails at the Kalahari’s Diamond Cut and our team dinner at Wally’s House of Embers in the Dells.  Lots of chatter, laughter and love shared with all!

Those Blues Bros…. sure know how to treat their team!

Thanks Dave and Ed!

Linda and Dr. Chelsea Poland

The weekend was filled with meeting and greeting chiropractors and their staff.  It was fun to see so many of our clients, some of whom I had not yet had a face to a name, meet new docs and their teams, and reconnect with old friends and colleagues to share hugs and spread the love of our profession.

A doctor once told me that no other practice(experience) will ever be the same as my first.  I’ve found this to be very true.  We hang on to those memories of that first practice.  This weekend I was able to reconnect with the first associate Dr. Culp(my first practice) brought into his office, circa 1987.  We reminisced of the “old days” and  brought each other up to date on our journeys over the past 3 decades.

All in all, it was wonderful to see everyone again and share the weekend with you!

Champions are made from something they have deep inside them – a desire, a dream, a vision.
They have to have the skill, and the will.  But the will must be stronger than the skill.”
