Which is More Important: Wants, or Needs?

I was pondering this the other day, whilst thinking of how I could get my patients to do the things I wanted them to do, the things they need.
And then I realised, some people don't want to be well. Maybe it's too much of a responsibility or other priorities are on top.

We don't need to do anything.

...except if we want something.

Needs are the servants of wants, they're dictated by what we'd like to achieve or how we'd like to be. You don't need to exercise; unless you want to have a fit body. You don't need to eat proper fresh natural food; unless you want to have lots of energy and look and feel good. There's always a choice.

Yes, I know we need to earn money and breathe and get out of bed, but only if we want to live in this world and function as human beings.

I guess the message is to shift the focus from what you feel you need to do, all those burdensome time-consuming not-always-pleasant tasks... onto the bigger picture. One you painted yourself.

So I've stopped telling the people who ask for my help what they need, and now I ask them what they want.

People don't need Chiropractic, unless they want to experience how well they can be.
