Some of you have heard me rave about my wonderful acupuncturist, Dr. Sun and a few of you have even popped in to give him a try.  For those of you who haven’t heard any of my stories…i will eventually share some of them…but just know…he is amazing.

A while back I stopped by his office for what I thought would be just a quick chiropractic adjustment {I was having a weird back/rib pain}.  As always Dr Sun asked just a few questions about what I thought was the reason for my visit, but I quickly realized there was a different message meant for me that day {very typical for my visits with Dr. Sun}.  Dr. Sun seems to offer up little tid bits of advice that hit the nail on the head time after time.  His thoughts for me this visit:

{paraphrasing} When we look back to everything that we have been thru in our lives we tend to focus on the mistakes made, the things that did not turn out right and the things we would like to change about ourselves.  When we stack up all those mistakes we feel like all we have done in the past is mess up.  So as we move forward in life we are constantly trying to correct those mistakes, trying to make better decisions and worrying about how we will overcome all of the things in our past.  Instead, why don’t we live in the moment; present moment consciousness; realize that everything that has happened in our past, all of the mistakes we have made and all of the bumps along the way have been for a reason.  They have taught us important lessons in life that we would not have learned had we not stumbled.  So instead of beating ourselves up over all of the mistakes…we should realize that we are much smarter now for all of those lessons learned, we have gained knowledge and strength from overcoming all of the hurdles life has thrown at us.  We are actually much stronger and much smarter then we ever thought possible and its all because of life.  Because of the bumps in the road that have forced us to look into ourselves and make changes..even the smallest of changes; changes that will only make us a better person in the end.

So much easier said then done

I’m telling you…this man is something else!

Namaste
