The Wellness Revolution: A Mind-Body-Soul Connection…

There is an on going phenomenon with how people initally react when you make suggestions for their own good.  The common answer that I get a lot from not only patients, but from friends and family is, “I can’t.”  I notice that a lot of people say I can’t not because they really CAN’T, but because they really WON’T.  I think that we should all be making an effort to say that we’ll give it a shot or to at least ponder the idea for a while before we turn down the suggestion. 

What would have happened if Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said “I can’t” before he made his famous I Had a Dream speech?  What if D.D. Palmer said “I can’t” when Harvey Lillard walked into his office looking for help?  What if your mom and dad said “we can’t” before you were concieved?  These are examples of events that have changed the world as we know it.  What if Obama said “No, we can’t”? 

When I see a patient who is unwilling to put the same amount of effort that I am putting into their care, I have to seriously sit back and consider the other possibilities for this person.  Is it worth my time and effort and their time and money to try and help them heal?  I try and encourage all my people (friends, family, patients, etc.) to start saying “I’ll try” or “I will” before they say “I can’t” or “I won’t”. 

The only person who get ’s in your way is YOU.  Utilize the people who love you and care for you enough to take their word and their suggestions to heart.  They only make suggestions for the the greater good of YOU.  We are all self-evolving organisms and the only way that we evolve is through change.

Stay True!
