Hello and thank you for following along! Would you prefer to listen to Dr. Dave on this topic? If so, CLICK HERE!
Well, what do you think?
You know, function dictating structure….
Well, in the words of The Rock,
“It doesn’t matter what you think!”
Simply because the function does dictate structure.
So here’s another one.
Years ago there was an expression:
“Stupid is as stupid does.”
People still might say this, but I’ve made a modification:
“Healthy and well is as healthy and well does.”
This makes a lot of sense, right?
Especially when one considers function dictating structure, right?
But what about the difference between being and becoming?
Being is what you are right now at this exact moment in time.
Becoming is perhaps a state of beingness you hope to achieve or become someday.
And no matter how a person wishes it might be otherwise, he is no more and no less than what he is being right at this moment…, this is his beingness.
Let’s say right now you are doing something that is not considered healthy, even if you are doing it to become healthy and well at some later day, you know, hopefully…, maybe…, perhaps.
Regardless, at that exact moment you are not being healthy and well, you are being unhealthy and unwell.
Get what I’m saying?
You can’t imagine the things I hear that people are doing in the name of hopefully becoming healthy and well…, someday!
Hormone supplements, weight loss drugs, magic mushrooms, dope-smoking, energy drinks, plastic surgery, biohacking….
I gotta be honest- there is a tremendous amount of money to be made in convincing people that they aren’t and then selling them all kinds of magic lotions and potions with the hope that one day these gimmicks will make them become.
Even if one thinks he can become, right at that moment he is being someone who believes one day he will become. He still isn’t being the thing he hopes to become, right?
I know of a biohacker who takes medications that have been taken off the market, repurposes them into some magic elixir, and sells them to people who are hoping to one day become.
Someone told me that this past spring this biohacker guru rented an exotic villa somewhere off some European coast for $70, 000 a week. He had been there for a month when I heard this story.
So let me ask you when these hopefuls are fully hooked up on this guy’s magic potions, will they be able to drop $280,000 a month for a beach house?
Like any drug pusher he is not taking his “cure” he’s living off the hopes and dreams of those who probably never will, grinding away at trying to become- an impossibility at best.
But let’s look at this.
A person is sold on the idea that they can be bigger, stronger, healthier, more alert, live longer, more popular…, you name it, and if they take this dangerous concoction of drugs and other things with the hope that someday they will become this amazing new human.
But in taking these drugs the person is actually being unhealthy and unwell, and hoping to someday become healthy and well.
Healthy and well is what healthy and well does. Plain and simple.
If a person isn’t being healthy and well, I’m not sure how he plans on becoming healthy and well someday by being unhealthy and unwell.
Why not be someone who is reducing chronic inflammation, and actually living a healthy lifestyle right now…, you know…, be healthy and well in this moment and the next, and the next, and so on?
Before I tell you that we at Paragon Chiropractic can help you be healthy and well, and we would love to show you how here’s a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson that I’ll leave you with:
“We are always getting ready to live, but never living.”
That will set the tone for the next video…, see you then!
Take Care,
Dr. Dave
