No Jealousy, Just Growth

There’s something curious about human nature: when many people see success, their first reaction is jealousy.

Take my mentor, Dr. Sid Williams. He built a four-year university in just 25 years—without a dime of government funding. His efforts touched millions worldwide through his charities, yet many despised him for his achievements. How tragic that a man who poured so much into humanity could still attract hatred.

Even chiropractors who see others busier than them, tend to throw stones rather than say something simple like, "Teach me how to do that". 

But when I meet successful people, chiropractors or not, I don’t see reasons for envy. I think three things:

1. Congratulations—for making the world better for others.

2. I want to know how you did it.

3. And will you share your secrets with me?

Because here’s the truth: successful people simply think differently. And if you’re willing to pay attention, it’s obvious.

Pearls of Wisdom

Dr. Sid often asked: “Are you into chiropractic, or is chiropractic into you?”

That question haunted me until I finally understood it. Once I did, it ignited a fire in me that still burns today.

Another mentor of mine—though I never had the chance to meet him—was Bob Proctor. His work helped trained me how to think correctly. And yes, there is a right way and a wrong way to think.

I recently found an old video of Bob at home, sharing his secrets of success. Forget the material trappings in the background. Instead, focus on his words, his intention, and the unwavering sense of mission that carried him to the top. I'll include the link below.

Think About This…

1. How does Bob do it?

Most people will watch Bob and dismiss him because of his wealth—too many toys, too much success, too much of everything. The common assumption is that people like him should “give it all away.”

But here’s a fact: his company builds a new home in Africa every two weeks, with a goal of one a day. Tell me—would stripping him of his wealth allow someone else to accomplish more? Or does his ability to expand himself actually expand the world?

Wallace Wattles, in The Science of Getting Rich, put it plainly:

“The very best thing you can do for others is to make the best of yourself.”

That’s the call. Not jealousy. Expansion.

2. How can we do the same?

That’s the question worth asking. When you watch Bob speak, ask yourself: Am I vibrating on the same frequency as this man in his eighties? If not, why not? And more importantly, when will you begin to raise your level?

Bob immersed himself in Think and Grow Rich—reading it every single day for 50 years. He didn’t just study the book. He became the book. That’s what thinking at the right level looks like.

The Message Matters

Bob has passed on, but his teachings remain. And the more we chiropractors learn to think correctly, the more powerfully we can deliver our message to the world.

Because make no mistake: our message matters!

Now here's a thing you can put into Social Media to lead people to the blog: ✨ No Jealousy, Just Growth ✨

Some people see success and feel envy. I see success and ask three questions:

1️⃣ Congratulations—you’ve made the world better.

2️⃣ How did you do it?

3️⃣ Will you share your secrets?

Dr. Sid Williams built a university in 25 years with no government funding. Bob Proctor read Think and Grow Rich every day for 50 years. They both taught me the same lesson: success starts with how you think.

So don’t waste time on jealousy. Expand your mind. Raise your vision. Lift your vibration.

Because when you make the best of yourself, you make the world better too.
