I’d like to close this new month by poking the bear a little. First, a quick story. Last summer, I had a family member ask me how Chiropractic works. I gave a simple explanation, but this individual wanted more detail. So, I obliged. When I was done, their response was “No way, that’s not how it works. It can’t be that simple; medical research (blah, blah, blah).” I exited the conversation, and now do my best to avoid the topic around this person. It’s their loss, not mine.
Not for nothing, but the simple is meant to confound the wise. If you are unwilling to accept the simple, you’ll never accept the complex. At the beginning of this month, I wrote about Fear vs. Faith. You see, details bring about fear, because we realize there is always more to learn, and that we’ll never know everything. Fear is controlling. When you are in a state of fear, you are controllable. When you are in a state of faith, confidence, and knowing; you are independent, liberated and free.
Remember that the next time a politician or doctor speaks. Ask yourself, “are they speaking to my fear? Or are they speaking to my faith?” Does Chiropractic speak to your fear, or to your faith? Do I speak to your fear, or your faith? Do myself and Chiropractic speak to states of independence, liberty, and freedom?
Listen, I want to help you overcome your fear of (not) healing. That’s about having faith in yourself and your God-given ability to heal. But I also don’t care so much that if I see you’re determined to live in your fear, I won’t waste time trying to convince you of the reality the rest of us live in. Just like with that family member, I’m happy to explain, but if you question it, honestly, go do what makes sense to you. You’ll live a happier life living with those consequences. Just as I and others happily live with our choices.
