As we reflect into this time of Thanksgiving this month, we notice that there still lies within many around the world the misunderstanding of what their purpose is. As I was recently reading an article about two neighbors in the mid-west that had argued over a fence for over 2 years and the placement of the fence posts on either’s property, and that day after day, week after week, it totally consumed one of the property owner’s entire life. Every day he would walk the property boundary, stepping it off, making sure that nothing was on a blade of grass on his side. The other man knew that his fence lied within the boundaries and did not seem to worry that much about the other fellow. Until one day, in the middle of the night, for some mysterious reason it appeared as though the ground had moved and the fence was on the other man’s property, and grass was beginning to come onto his property. The older man that was always concerned went crazy and started bashing that part of the fence down and continued to do so until he completely tired out. Once it was over, the story read, the old man had realized he had done nothing but showed that now he had to go and chase all of his own cattle that began to let loose now that there was no barrier that was keeping them inside.
The take-away of this story is that in life, as humans, we understand many things, yet there are way more items that we just simply cannot comprehend. Just as in Specific ChiropracTIC, there are patients that come in each day and can clearly see that they are getting well, yet because of the ‘nay-sayers’ out there with whom do not ‘believe’ or ‘do not understand’ TIC, the patient begins to believe that they are not actually getting any better. Or people in your community that seem to think that all you do is take care of ‘low back pain’, which is clearly a misnomer of anything that a Specific ChiropracTOR does.
This reminds me of a story in the ‘Good Book’ about a man named Samson, and although many did not understand why he did what he did, and they tried to torture him, tried to keep him captive, tried to badger and belittle him, thinking they had taken his strength from him. All the while they never knew that his strength did not come from him and his massive size. It came from the locks of his hair that God had honored him with. And as it grew, so did his strength, and before anyone knew he broke down the pillars and showed the world that they could not contain him.
If there are ones around you today that begin to be the ‘nay-sayer’ or the hate mongers, and tell you false claims about yourself or what you do, realize that these people are still searching in life for their own strength. They only attempt to build their direction by trying to tear yours down. This is a form of stealing. These type of people need to be guided, and re-educated. And remember, some will listen and some will not. It is the ones who listen that really and truly want to be Well and gain the knowledge of true Health. Spend your time with these types of people; don’t waste your time with negative energy and haters, that no matter what you educate them with they will continue to have negative energy. It does nothing to improve your life, which should be full of happiness.
If a blade of grass touches your side of the fence, don’t get angered because of it, reach across and recognize that with every blade that is destroyed by haste or destruction, universe will place a new one in its place. The beauty that is possessed by that open field of green grass is where some of the beautiful pictures capture the moment of the inner beauty of God’s green earth. Be a part of that! Not a part of the negative. Be a part of the LIFE that we have, and surround yourself with positive thoughts and actions. Let yourself, not be trying to tear the fence of your neighbor, but lending a hand to help paint it so the view from your side also looks refreshing. This is what patients need to understand. We are not here to tear down the medical profession. We are here to do what we do. That is not tearing their fence down, that his helping maintain THE fence. The fence that Universal Intelligence has provided to keep our body in balance and in check.
My father told me as a young boy, and many of yours did also, that if you have nothing good to say about a person, don’t say anything. Know that each day that you should look at life to speak nice words and kind segments about the LIFE you have. Not about how a blade of grass is now on your side of the fence. Yet, be thankful there is a fence, so you don’t have to go chasing all of your own cattle that is now out of control. Explain to your patients that Health and Happiness starts from a body that is in balance and is free of negative thoughts or actions, and has a free flowing Nervous System. Regardless of the technique, ChiropracTIC works. It is a law of principle action of when you remove that Vertebral Subluxation and remove the Nerve flow interference at the Brain-Stem level of the spinal cord; the restoration and healing of the body WILL begin to occur.
Maintain Course in all you do!
