I have recently received an email from an old friend from another country. I decided to write about it as I feel there is a lot to learn from the email not only for me but for others who also choose to read this post.
We so often go through life complaining and stressing about the tragedies and hardships we face. It is too bad that so few of us step back and step out of those futile activities and into some proactive and mindful actions.
Remember if you go through life on auto pilot, you may run into unforeseeable circumstances. If on the other hand you consciously steer your life, you have a much better chance of avoiding the unfavorable and attracting the desired outcomes.
The email consisted of 3 paragraphs:
- the first one about how she cannot control or deny herself what she eats or drinks
- the second about the weather
- the third paragraph consisted of a story about a friend of a friend who got cancer very young and died, and what a horrible tragedy it is, and how things like this should not happen and so she is so disturbed and sad, etc.
This woman is a wonderful person and I thoroughly enjoy her emails, but this email is a perfect example of the unconscious state most of us live in, most of the time and hence suffer greatly through life.
Do you see the connection between paragraphs 1 and 3?
Read them again…
It is not about the unfortunate case of the other person dying of cancer. It is about her own personal active role of not connecting the dots in her own life.
Thanks to today’s research we have solid and substantial proof that cancer is not some ill luck of fate or God’s way of punishing you. Cancer is simply an overgrowth of normal cells due to mutations in our DNA caused by external factors, such as what we eat, drink, the type and amount of stress we have, the chemicals we are exposed to, the radiations we are exposed to, etc.
Currently the North American cancer societies report an incidence of about 1 in 3 people being affected by some kind of cancer in their lifetime. Those are not good stats. And even though there are many new technologies that heal people from the cancers, who wants to go through that? Many times the therapies are worse than the disease itself.
So ultimately all I am saying is that we do have a say in the matter where cancer or diseases are concerned. Perhaps we cannot prevent that we will get a cancer 100%, as even if you do everything right, there are still spontaneous mutations. But by being aware of what we put into and onto our body WE CAN GREATLY REDUCE IF NOT PREVENT GETTING A CANCER ALTOGETHER or any other horrible disease for that matter.
Consider also how lucky we are today. Even ten, twenty or more years ago, people were not exposed to all the information we have today. They may not have known the effects of certain factors on our health. Today we do know, and everyday we learn more. So if we do know and still do things that harm our body, we also have to connect the dots of the consequences those types of actions will bring.
This is by no means about instilling fear or stress into your life, but to give it a little memory jolt that you are in control of your body and health and you do have a say.
Your first plan of action is to take responsibility for your own health and well being and increase the awareness with which you go through life each day. The bottom line is we do have options as to the consequences of our future. Life gives us clues and messages at every moment. What your well being depends on however, is being open and in tune to those messages to connect the dots!
