Paradigm Shift...
This last week I had an experience that inspired me and affirmed the absolute power of truth. For months now we have been planting seeds in our sitter in regards to health and how much they are missing. This family, though this country's standards would presume are "healthy", suffer the same frequent illness that migrates it's way through each family member, and they have a son with scoliosis (non-symptomatic). We have tried desperately to get them to realize their futures given the current path but with little success.
When we went to pick up Jalen one day last week, we somehow got into a conversation about health, and drugs, and the FDA. A relatively "small" detail, which would have been overlooked by most, was a point in time during the conversation when one of the parents said "yeah, we've noticed that where everyone else gets sick and is out for a week, Jalen might get a sniffle but never slows down and is better in a day or two", at which the other parent nodded in agreement.
At that moment, whether they knew it or not this family made a mark in the road where a level of curiosity, which leads to understanding, will mark a new future of positive health choices. I have no doubt in my mind that it is only a matter of time now before they stop "walking through life dragging their bodies behind them", and instead become present-time conscious in their daily choices.
The point of this is you may get frustrated like I was when someone you try to help just doesn't get it. But in the end, when we live by example, the truth is inevitable and it shows in every area of your life. You need to understand that living a good life for yourself is not a selfish act, but will save lives in the process. Live well.
