Time Is Now



The time in now. What are you doing with it? Are you merely turning a page in your calendar? Are you adding another year to your age? Are you counting the time when you can retire and have nothing to do, or the time when you will be able to take a long, coveted vacation?

Time means many things to many people. some look forward to a time when they can do some desired project like remodeling a work of art that has been dormant in their mind, or even writing that memoir of their life.

Then again you may be a person who frets about wasted time, a person who is punctual, always on time, or perhaps a little ahead of time, are are vexed then others are late for appointments. This conduct throws you off schedule, thus wasting your life and theirs to no good end.

Then there are those who keep putting things off, waiting until tomorrow or some other time and thus getting nowhere. Why are people like that, you wonder? Again, this keeps you worrying about things left undone.

Time is now. Everyone has the same allotted time, no more and no less. Use this time well, use it wisely and you can accomplish much. Waste time and you may never have another chance.

Longfellow said; "Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime, and departing, leave behind us footprints in the sands of time."

That is true, and makes for a good figure of speech, but how much value have footprints on sand when the first strong wind will blot them out?

Time is precious to creative art. Ideas are the key to accomplishment. Time is now and ideas unused soon become obscure. If you have something worth doing, do it now. Employ time as you should when opportunity knocks. Act on the idea and it is yours from now on. Leave it undone and so it will remain, for that is a low of life. You get but one chance .... that moment will never exist again.

You may protest that ill health is your problem. How can you accomplish the greater things in life when dis-ease has knocked at you door or when a headache is pounding in your head? The spine is also the key to the nervous system which likewise is the key to your health.

Take care of yourself and in due time normal function is restored, thus opening the way to health and more more fulfilling life.

"Fill you mind with forgiveness, faith, and love and you will radiate blessings like the sky above."

Today - Begin Where You Are


Do you wish to succeed in life? Try beginning where you now are. Utilize the tools you have at hand. Expect the best and then follow through and DO your best. That is all it takes.

Of course you must have a goal, whether it be immediate, intermediate or long term. You must know what you want. You must have an ideal, you must have vision. The Bible says, "Where there is no vision the people perish." Those with no vision wander about in a desert of non-belief, fear, and doubt until despair enters their mind. This is true of the individual or the mass. There seems no way out, and you can't win unless you believe you can be changed.

What is your problem? could it be ill health? Do you suffer pain? Are you nervous? Are you groggy from taking too much medicine, too many drugs, tranquilizers, aspirin, and/or perhaps even alcohol? Begin now to get rid of these false idols. There is a better way, a right way, and most importantly - the proper way. You will never find answers in a bottle or drug. You may ask what you can do. What other way is open to you?

Your body is fearfully and wonderfully made, as has often been said. This being true, what have you to fear? Why doubt the laws of nature? Begin now, where you are, to set nature's laws to work for you and you will find the way to approach a more abundant life. What does this mean, you may ask?

Chiropractors have a different approach to health problems. No drugs, no surgery, nothing to swallow, and no shots. It's not that we do not "believe" that modern medicine is injurious, but it would be a last resort unless a true emergency should present. Have you wondered how this works?

I point out that health comes from "up down inside and outward" and in no other way. Health depends entirely upon the nervous system that stems from the brain and spinal cord with its network of nerve fibers forming a direct medium of contact between brain cells and tissue cells.

You may have heard it said that the spine is the strength and support of the body. This is true, but the use of the spine has many ramifications. The spinal column supports the head housing the brain. It also serves for the articulation of all the larger bones and the attachments of major muscles and ligaments. Through this medium you are enabled to have strength, activity, and function; however, more is needed. this is supplied through the brain, spinal cord, and its nerve fibers already mentioned.

The spinal cord is a great cable of nerves that descends from the base of the skull down through the greater length of the spinal column. the spinal column is provided with openings between the vertebrae where nerve bundles emit separating into countless nerve fibers that form a direct contact between the brain cells and all structures of the body. Through this medium all activity and function take place enabling the body to perform a more perfect state of health.

Sometimes however, there is dis-ease (want of ease) with its various symptoms and you may become ill. You have pains, indigestion, nervousness, and various other disorders. As a result you take something for it, or you go to a doctor for a prescription to be filled at a pharmacy. These sometimes work, but more often cause side effects worse than the original complaint. "A drug is not a drug unless it causes side effects." Eli Lilly.

What has caused these problems? We point out that in everyday life you are subject to falls, accidents, and mishaps that sometimes displace one or more vertebrae to a degree so nerves are pinched. This in conjunction with malfunction and the emotions results in various health problems.

X-rays of the spine and other tests can determine the spinal cause of the problem. Then gentle spinal adjustments are given, and in due time health can be restored again. Are you in doubt?

Begin now, where you are. Go to your chiropractor and perhaps you too can discard your medicines. The way will be opened to a more abundant life.
