We recently had a patient with a thriving photography business, serving clients from all over the U.S. She shared with Dr. Hauser that her secret to success is simple—but rare: treat customers with the same love and respect you would want yourself. She doesn’t just show up to take pictures. When photographing a wedding, she cares about the flowers, the food, the dresses—every detail—as if it were her own special day. That’s more than service. That’s love. But loving people at this level takes something deeper. It means thinking less about yourself and more about the other person. It’s the […]
In moments where we are presented with the opportunity to be agents of healing and vitality, the impact of a single kind word cannot be underestimated. A gentle utterance has the power to elevate a worried heart, transforming the very essence of the environment in which it resonates. Take a moment to envision your workplace – is it brimming with laughter, positivity, and a sense of possibility, or is it overshadowed by frustration and doubt? Consider your role in shaping the conversations that unfold around you. While it may seem effortless to align with negativity, responding in kind to sarcasm […]
Society these days teaches us to avoid discomfort; to avoid conflict; to stay safe. Our world caters to comfort. We sit for hours. We scroll for enjoyment. We avoid pain at all costs, and eat food that is “convenient” but not necessarily “real.” Could it be that this so-called “comfort” is actually part of the problem of why people are still hurting?

In his book, he […]
The words you speak have so much meaning. They have the power to affect others, but how can we make sure that they are POSITIVELY affecting others? By the power of prayer! We so often hear people say “Pray for me,” “I’m praying for you and your family,” or whatever the case may be but then we go on with our day and if we’re being honest, we probably forget to say the prayer. Today we challenge you to stop and actually speak the words, and pray for that person in the moment and if you are physically with them, […]
Have you ever said, “She makes me so mad!” The truth is nobody can make you mad without your permission. As our friend pastor Rick Warren says, “Anger is a choice, and you must choose to control it if you want to be a loving person. You have far more control over your anger than you may want to admit.” We don’t know about you, but the world has an anger problem. Doesn’t it seem like people in general are quick to judge or quick to get angry!? The world is in chaos with so much violence, hatred, and anger […]
