Getting [What You Want] Most Out of Life

“Getting [What You Want] Most Out of Life”
Congratulations, you're one step closer to getting everything you want out of life. The only reason I say that is because all of the top motivational speakers say in order to get what you want out of life, you must organize and execute around your priorities. If getting what you want out of life is a priority for you, then this week's post is a great way to begin the execution of your plan....
First, let's take a minute here to really think about exactly what you want. After reading this paragraph, close your eyes for a minute... because I want you to take just a minute to seriously consider this. Close your eyes, and if you can, picture what you want most out of life, in as much detail as you possibly can. Try to see how you would look, and whom you would be with. What would you be doing? Where would you be? How would it feel, and smell, and sound? Really fill in the picture, and color in as much detail as you can. Good, now close your eyes and experience what it is that you want.

Now, my job in the next few minutes is to show you a way, a way maybe you've never considered before... to help you get that very thing you just pictured in your mind. I believe I can do that despite the fact that no two people reading this are the same. I'm truly amazed how artists can make their hands do what their imagination can create. But just as Napoleon Hill once said,

"What the mind can conceive and believe, the man can achieve with a positive mental attitude."
Let me start by telling you that numerous surveys have shown that no matter who they ask, all people pretty much want the same things in life. So no matter what you just pictured, whether you were enjoying a tropical sunset with a loved one, swinging a golf club for the best score of your life, or bouncing a baby on your lap, you probably were thinking of one of just a few things. Surveys show that the four things people consistently want the most out of life are (1) To be happy; (2) To be healthy; (3) To have family harmony; (4) To not worry about finances.
Since all behavior is adaptive, which simply means that everything you do is to bring about something you desire or to meet one or more of your needs, then if I can show you something you could do for yourself to help bring about any of these four things, I would, in essence, be helping you get the most out of your life. That's precisely what the rest of this week's entry is about. And it's not my idea at all, these concepts have been said many different ways, and have been applied successfully for decades.

Think back again about the vision you made for yourself. Did you find yourself thinking about how the hundred million receptors that are in your eye actually translate the beauty of a beach sunset into the majesty of the brilliant colors that you perceive? Probably not. Did you find yourself thinking about how your heart rhythmically pulsates beat after beat, 36 million times per year, whether you are golfing the game of your life or whether you are asleep in your bed at night, pumping blood through more than 60 thousands miles of veins, arteries and tubing? Again, probably not. Or did you find yourself thinking about how two tiny little molecules, one each from two completely different people, came together to make the miraculous little creature that you bounce on your knee? No, probably not that either. Did you think about how the three pound sphere of tissue that we call your brain, with its 13 billion nerve cells, (that's more than three times the number of people on our planet) did you think about how that allowed you to conjure up the image that you did by accessing every perception, every sound, every taste, every smell, every action you've experienced since the day of your birth?

That three pound sphere, along with your spinal cord, continues to direct and animate every moment of your life. Virtually every one of your 25 to 30 quadrillion cells (that's 30,000 trillion of them) is connected in an enormously vast network known as the nervous system. I say virtually, because your blood cells are not directly connected to your nervous system. That's because every second two million of your blood cells die, and are replaced by two million more new ones in a revolving resurrection that has continued since the day of your birth. No, you didn't... because you don't have to. The incredible organization of the body is not left up to you or to chance. It's directed and orchestrated by an intelligence far greater than any educated mind, an inborn wisdom that separates us from the people at the morgue, who, with all of their nerve tissue and organs and parts, including the three pound sphere we know as our brain, cannot express the miraculous organization that we know as life. They cannot enjoy the beauty of a sunset, the rush of euphoria that comes with an outstanding performance, the joy of a child’s laugh, or the feeling of love.

More important than the nerves or any and all of the parts is the intelligence that is transmitted over those nerve pathways. In fact, the transmission of this intelligence is so important to your expression of life that the nerve system itself is entirely protected by bone. The brain is covered by the skull and the spinal cord is covered by the bones of the spine in an intimate relationship unlike any other in the body. Knowing how vital this expression is, do you think having interference in this system would be good or bad? I certainly hope you said, "Bad," because it absolutely would be bad. Your body simply cannot fully express the life within it when interference is present in the nerve system and consequently you lessen your ability to get whatever you want most out of life. You may be thinking,

“Well, that makes sense... If I ever get interference in my nervous system, I'll be quick to do something about it.”

But let me ask you, how would you know if, and when you have it? Studies have shown that the weight of a fly on the nerve can reduce the function of the nerve down to 60 percent. With that slight of weight, would you really wait until you felt something? What’s more, other studies have shown that the damage done by pressure, even as slight as this, is irreversible within a two week period. So waiting until you feel pain or waiting until you reach a magic age or something is completely out of the question. Remember, we're talking about your dreams here.

The truth is, people develop interferences in their nerve system all the time. They give absolutely no indication that they are present whatsoever. Because the bones of the spine can move, they can also misalign in such a way that they create interference in the nerve system. Let me ask you, would you know right now if your perception of color was completely accurate? Would you know if your golf swing was all it could be? Would you know if your feelings of love or of any other emotion were absolutely what they should or could be? The answer to all of these questions is a resounding no. You simply cannot know. That's the stuff that is left up to the inborn intelligence of your body. Remember?

The best thing you can do for yourself is to insure that there's no interference in your nervous system.
Let’s go back a minute and think about some of the things that might cause this interference in your nerve system. Do you think the stress of lugging around heavy baggage through the airport might be enough to affect the spine sufficiently to misalign a bone even ever so slightly and cause this interference in the nerve system? Of course. It absolutely could. How about sitting for long periods of time, whether it's on a plane, driving or at your desk at work? How about sleeping in a strange bed? Might these things affect your spine? How about a slip and fall, a car accident, a sports injury from running or cycling? Of course. How about swinging that golf club or any repetitive one-sided motion? How about bouncing that child around or giving piggyback rides or the stress that comes from worrying about what is best for your children?

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but any of these things can misalign one or more of the bones in your spine directly or indirectly because of muscle tension, and create that interference in your nerve system. What's worse is that the list goes on and on. It can start from the very trauma of being born, when you're twisted and pulled out of the birth canal, and continues through all your falling down on your rear while you're learning to walk, and through falling off your bike, rollerskating, and fighting with your brothers and sisters when you're growing up and through all of your worrying about schools and pimples and dates, right up to wherever you are today.
What have you done this very day that might have created interference in your nervous system?
Interference that's keeping you from getting the most out of your life. How long are you going to be willing to leave it there, compromising your dreams? By the way, if this is true for you, it's also true for everyone you know and love. Are you willing to sacrifice their dreams and their lives because of even a little interference in their nervous systems?

I know that you want good things for yourself and for the people you love. You know what you want out of life. All you need to do now is to do something about it. Why don’t you look into having your spine checked for vertebral subluxations? These are small misalignments in the bones of the spine that create interference in the nerve system, and keep the body from expressing its fullest potential in life, exactly what we've been discussing in these last few minutes.
