Ithaca Lawyer How Changing Your Values Can Change Your Life

I learned this big secret from a wonderful mentor, teacher, & fellow Chiropractor, Dr. John DeMartini. If you want to be wealthy well then make saving money important. You want to have a great relationship then make serving your partner's values as important.

The "How To" of Values: The Big WHY?

What you value you see and feel is important. So what makes anything important? Things are important to us when they are attached to reasons. Ever hear of acting reasonable? It means having reasons for behavior or actions. If you have enough personal reasons to do something then it gets done. If these reasons are strong, clear, and you can understand how they connect if your goals then they can inspire you.

I have used this idea in my legal practice to get Judges and District Attorneys to give me what I wanted by giving them what they wanted. Everyone wants something. If you serve their interests they will in turn serve yours. Zig Ziglar said it best, "help enough people get what they want and they will help you get what you want." In my marriage my wife places a high value on family and physical fitness. Taking her on a family vacation, and supporting her desire to work out can only benefit me as well her.

Make Lists of Reasons and Benefits

I write out lists of all the reasons something is important to me. Why would doing this behavior serve me? How would doing this behavior or not doing this behavior serve me? What are the specific benefits to me and those I care about? The more benefits and the more reasons I can attach to a given set of actions the more ingrained they are impressed into my psyche.

Always consult with an attorney about any criminal or non-criminal charges you have pending to discuss your options and/or defenses. I am an attorney, former chiropractor, coach, advisor, and professional speaker.

My online materials include over 500 + blog posts, dozens of articles, and over 500 + informative videos on my youtube channel. I have authored and co-authored numerous books and articles on law both universal and man-made.

I was selected by Super Lawyers as a Upstate New York 2013 Rising Star in DWI/DUI Defense based on my experience, contributions, and professional standing.
