It's Always Something: Why Taking Action on Your Dental Health Matters
/
As Roseanne Roseannadanna said, “It’s always something.” If it’s not this, then it’s that. Life is an experience and something’s always going on. No matter how in control you think you are, life will throw you a curve. So being flexible is the key. The most important flexibility is in your mind. When a change or obstacle appears, do you feel challenged or overwhelmed? Boulders are constantly being thrown in your path. You can step out of the way or get run over. The most in-tune people are the ones who can predict the boulder before it even appears. These individuals are living in the present and predicting the future based on the facts at hand. But no matter how good a prognosticator you are, there will always be events beyond your control. You must live in The Now. In fact, that is the only time you can live in. The past is irretrievably gone. The future is only a construct. You can only develop your future now. The moment is the key. Are you conscious of the moment? It just passed. So you must be aware that moments are constantly happening, and you must take action now. To take action you have to have a plan. Where do you want to go? If you don’t know where you’re going, how are you going to get there? First, decide, and then think of possible ways to attack the problem and then take action. The key is to take action, not procrastination. Procrastination is the killer of all action. You will never have all the facts, so you just have to go. If you make a mistake, you will correct, alter course, and continue on. Failure is always a learning situation. When you fail, you will ponder, learn from it, and move forward. No action will produce any results. Hence, it is better to fail than not move forward. The more you move, the stronger your mind will become and believe you will succeed. You’ve got to believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, how will anyone else? Fear is false evidence that appears real and can freeze you like a deer in the headlights. Fear is real. If you jump off a cliff, you will fall, but you must make a plan, overcome your fear, and move forward in spite of what you feel. Fear is produced by living too much in the future and not knowing what will happen. You cannot predict the future, so you need to act now and modify your actions based on what occurs. Exercise in the beginning is hard, but as you repeat the routines, over time, your body responds and you get better and stronger. After finishing your routine, you’ll get an endorphin rush, a peaceful and happy feeling. Your muscles and body are getting stronger. Taking action gets easier when continually applied. It moves you forward, and you’ll be amazed at how far you have progressed. There is never a finish line but always another challenge, but over time, your accomplishments will afford you the luxury of security and peacefulness, and if you strive to bring others along, you’ll experience happiness to boot
