On our last visit I shared the story of a passing encounter I had with an elderly man where expressed a simple yet profound statement that “today was the best day of his life because it was the only one he had” I could see in his face that life had not been easy on him but from gleam in his eyes (which are the windows to your soul) I could see that he had taken the fight to life and not the other way around. He was a man full of joy and expectation even in the winter of his life because of one simple approach to life that he had learned somewhere along the way which was to make today the best day of your life.
I was told at a business man’s breakfast just recently that because of my age and stage in life that I should easily expect in the near future to experience what men call our mid life crisis. The time of life when we realize we no longer fit in the culture of youth and we also begin to realize that their is end to this ride coming one day and it’s not as far off as it once was. I frankly choose not participate in the plans those men had for me but I can see how some people could have those thoughts at that point of life but the only way those thoughts can occur is by people spending the only time they have (which is today) either in the yearning of their youth gone by or fearing what is the inevitable for all of us.
Listen to me when I say that we are all guilty including myself of thinking of regrets of yesterday or glory days gone by. We also share the guilt of worrying about things we cant control tomorrow. Some people worry about even the smallest of things that we can’t control but because of that worry it robs us of the JOY of today. I plead with you to not let the thoughts of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow rob you from one more moment of the present. One very wise man taught me at an early age that literally 99% of the things I can worry about tomorrow never come to pass. He also told me that if I know they will come to pass then to address them today and not worry about them anymore. I am now old enough and have enough experience under my belt to know that the wise man was exactly right. Don’t wait until the winter of your life to implement the simple truth that TODAY IS THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES. It’s your choice. This principle I just shared is for everyone but especially chiropractors. You have the opportunity to serve humanity today. What else could be better than that? Have the BEST day of your life today!! God Bless!!!
