You call 'em like you see 'em

A doctor has three patients in a room. In the first room, there is a 70-year-old grandmother of 12. In the second room, there is a 29-year-old woman who has been married for a couple of years. And in the third room, there is a 16-year-old daughter of a cattle farmer.

The doctor walks into all three rooms and says, “Congratulations, you’re pregnant!” As a result, the grandmother has a heart attack, the 29-year-old newlywed screams with joy, and the 16-year-old shoots herself before her father does.

Level of Understanding in Roseville

According to Roseville Chiropractor, the bottom line is that, in life, problems are only problems depending on your situation or your present level of understanding. Things are not absolutely negative or absolutely positive. How you see things all depends on what kind of glasses you are wearing.

If you study stress, you will find that over time, it will drastically ruin your health. It raises blood pressure, increases cholesterol, causes blood sugar problems, and causes dysfunction of every cell and organ in the body. It has been found, however, that all stress does not hurt you. The interesting thing about stress is that the only time you are injured by stress is when you feel overpowered by it.  When the glasses you are looking through see that you are a victim of stress and that your problems are in control of your joy and success in life, that is the only time when the physical and mental damage of stress applies.

It is the final inning of the final game in the World Series, and the score is tied. The bases are loaded, there are two outs, and the final batter now has three balls and two strikes. The next pitch most likely will decide the game and the series.  The final pitch is thrown, the batter does not swing, and the catcher is holding onto the ball. You can hear a pin drop in the sold-out stadium as everyone waits for the umpire to make the call. When he doesn’t say anything, the batter screams, “Well what is it?”

The umpire says, “It ain’t nothing until I call it.”

It isn’t stressed until you call it to stress, and you call ‘em as you see ‘em.

At the beginning of the movie Patch Adams, Robin Williams is so miserable that he commits himself to a mental institution, telling them that he wants to kill himself. Eventually, as the tension mounts, he starts acting funny and goofy and starts to see that joy and laughter have amazing healing power on others and him.

Later in the movie, the girl who is the object of his affection tells him that he needs to take things more seriously. He replies, “No thanks, I already tried that, and it doesn’t work for me.” He changed the prescription on his lenses, and now he sees things differently and better.

It is a sighing, dying, sick, and suffering world we live in. Yet people continue to follow the same principles of lifestyle and health as their sighing, dying, sick, and/or suffering friends and family are doing. You keep looking at life through the same glasses even though the prescription is not working.

Chiropractic states, “Just like happiness, health and disease come not from the outside-in, but from the inside-out. God did not create you to be sick but to be well. What if your body is functioning without interference and you avoid drugs and surgery and do the other things necessary to restore and preserve the natural state the Lord created your body in, you can get well and stay well.

This is looking at life through a totally different pair of glasses then you are used to. But at least you will stop running into walls and walking into traffic.

Blessed are those that were blind who can now see.
