the Journey:
Health
Health is not simply the
absence of sickness.
Hannah Green

The
witch doctor succeeds for the same reason all the rest of us
succeed. Each patient carries his or her own doctor inside him or
her. They come to us not knowing that truth. We are at our
best when
we give the doctor who resides within each patient a chance to
go to work. -Albert
Schweitzer

Those
who think they have not time for bodily exercise will
sooner or
later have to find time for illness.
-Edward

| My
contention is that as long as you have other faculties--the emotional,
psychological, intuitive faculties--you haven't lost yourself or even
diminished yourself. Don't be ashamed when you're physically limited
or dysfunctional; don't think that you're any less because of your
condition. In fact, I feel I am even more myself than I was before I got this illness
because I have been able to transcend many of the psychological and
emotional limitations I had before I developed ALS.

The
poorest person would not part with health for money,
but the richest would gladly part with all his or her money for health.
-C.C. Colton

| Remember
that the body is the temple of the soul. Those who
mistreat the body tend to mistreat the soul within. Observe vital
health laws, such as exercise, healthy diet, and self-control.
-Susan Santucci |

Health
is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being
and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.

You
can find examples of how little we value ourselves everywhere you
look. The signs on the front of the convenience stores where Stephen
lives in Florida
tell the story. Beer, ice, bread and milk are the
big come-ons. The order of the words varies, but beer and ice are
always
two of the top four staples for sale. If we were all taking
care of ourselves,
wouldn't the convenience stores compete for our dollars
with signs that read "Fruit, Vegetables, Bread, Milk"?
-Bernie
Siegel

| There are lots of people in
this world who spend so much time
watching their health that they haven't the time to enjoy it.
-Josh Billings |

One
of the most unfortunate things that has come to us through what we
call "higher civilization" is the killing of faith in
our power of disease resistance. In our large cities people make
great preparations for sickness. They expect it, anticipate it and
consequently have it. It is only a block or two to a physician; a
drug-store is on every other corner, and the temptation to send
for the physician or to get drugs at the slightest symptom of
illness tends to make them more and more dependent on outside help
and less able to control their physical discords.
During the frontier days there were little villages and hamlets
which physicians rarely entered, and here the people were strong
and healthy and independent. They developed great powers of
disease resistance.
There is no doubt that the doctor habit in many families has a
great deal to do with the developing of unfortunate physical
conditions in the child. Many mothers are always calling the
doctor whenever there is the least sign of disturbance in the
children. The result is that the child grows up with this disease
picture, doctor picture, medicine picture in its mind, and it
influences its whole life.

You have a
wonderful machine as a body that can do things that we don't even
notice, but that make life a beautiful experience. Keep it
healthy; treat it well. Healthy people have a stronger sense of
self, and have higher self-esteem. As a result, they treat others
differently, and they face challenges with more confidence and hope for
positive outcomes. You are a beautiful gift to the rest of us, and
we want you to be happy and fulfilled, and we want you to be able to do
whatever you wish to do, without the artificial restraints of an
unhealthy body.
Whenever I
begin neglecting my health (and believe me, I do), I just have to read
an article by someone with a chronic disease or see a person in a
wheelchair who will never enjoy the thrill of running on a chilly spring
morning to make me realize that I'm not doing what I should with my
gift. How are you treating the gift that you've been given?
