Do you know this quote by 19th century English physicist, Michael Faraday?
“Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of nature.”
He was actually talking about electromagnetism, but if you ask me, there can be other ways to apply his idea.
In thinking about the laws of nature I’m going to stretch the meaning to include what I think of as the laws of natural living.
Here’s an example.
I recently spent some time with a couple in their mid-sixties. They had all kinds of physical ailments, low energy and very limited mobility.
While it’s true that I am 10 years younger than they are, you would have thought the age difference was more like 20 years.
I do not have physical ailments, low energy or limited mobility.
The difference between me and this couple?
I truly feel it’s the difference in the way we’ve approached the laws of natural living.
I’m calling them laws because just like gravity is considered a law of nature, I believe there are laws of natural living that will greatly influence each and every one of us when it comes to things like physical ailments, energy and mobility.
What are some of the laws of natural living?
As I see it, they’re things like honoring your body by not overeating and getting fat.
And it’s not just overeating, it’s what you’re eating as well.
It’s having an active lifestyle so that you move your body and enjoy your body and all the wonderful things it’s capable of.
It’s knowing yourself well enough to know when stress is getting the best of you, and doing something to handle it.
I’m sure you could expand on this list and add some laws of your own.
It’s important to recognize that we are responsible for differentiating between the laws of UNnatural living and the toll they’ll take on us physically, mentally and spiritually, and the natural laws that support and contribute to us having the healthiest and most vibrant life possible!
It is wonderful and not too good to be true that when you make choices consistent with the laws of nature, abundant health can be yours!
