The Study of Life

Chiropractic is the study of life.

It studies what causes people to live.  Yesterday I attended my sixth funeral in the past year.  For some of you that may not seem like a lot.  Some were old, some were young.  Yesterday she was 13.  There are too many people dying and not enough living.

Chiropractic studies what causes people to live.  It finds that small speck inside of them and expresses it that they may live fully.  I’m here to tell you.  I’m here to share it with you and teach you.  That is my purpose.  That message is to go out to everybody; it’s not just for you.  It isn’t to be horded and kept in a basket or the bank.  It’s meant to be shared.

Life is what happens when we choose to not pay attention.  It is also what happens when we choose to pay attention.  It is what leads us to change into something that is greater than who we think we are.  It’s not about how much money we make or what our profession is.  It’s not about our aches and pains.  These things are a part of life, they are not life itself.

I do my best to do what I do with love and sometimes that love can come across a little tough.  Right now I have the image of the 13 year old girl in my mind, and how much love comes from a child.  I see sometimes how little love they receive back.  That is death, and I’ve seen too much in my past year.

It’s what causes people to stand on a roof and shout.  IT is what causes people to walk up to the grocery store clerk and begin talking to them.  IT is what causes you to recognize that someone is hurting and put your arm around them.  IT is what causes you to share your feelings with someone even though it hurts so much.    IT is what causes you to heal and stay well, that you may care for someone whom you love.  IT is about all of the challenges we face in our day to day lives, facing those challenges and overcoming them.  IT is what causes us to take our fear and shove it aside. IT is what causes us as parents to tell our kids to eat their vegetables and then follow through.

Chiropractic is the study of what causes us to live.

IT causes us to step beside ourselves and share information that can save life one day; even though they might reject it.  IT is what causes us to tell them the truth.  The truth is often difficult to hear; that is why they don’t want to hear it.  They want it to be easy, but it ain’t easy all the time.

Life is taking a friend by the hand and leading them when they are lost to a place that is safe, that can help them.  Life is not something that we hide from.  Life is not something to mask.  Life is too BIG to treat with a little round pill.  Life is something you do, something you experience.

Chiropractic is the study of what causes you to live.

I see the people who have died this year and how I told them, how I shared with them and expressed with them how chiropractic can help save their life.  I know how I could have done more for them.  And I see how each of them chose to deny it.  They each chose fear and death.  I wonder what would have happened if I took them and dragged them against their will into our office and adjusted them instead of letting them choose for themselves.  Why wouldn’t you choose life?  Why wouldn’t you choose the study of what causes you to live?

We can not prevent death, this I understand, but… I want people to live!  If you have heard my message, if you can feel my pain realize this is too big a job for one man.  It requires a group, an army of men and women sharing this message.  I’ll never hesitate to ask you for a referral because I know that Chiropractic is the study of life.  I want you to get that.  Become one of us.  For everyone I’m thinking of this year who has died, there is at least one other who has been dragged in, there is at least one more who lived, who understands that.

Will you join me in that mission to share it with people?

Share it with somebody, today… not tomorrow.
