ARE YOU A JANITOR, MECHANIC, OR WORLD CHANGER?
John F. Kennedy’s told a story about a time he visited NASA and came across a janitor mopping up the floor. When JFK asked him what his job was at NASA, the man said, “I’m helping to send a man to the moon.”
As doctors, we can look at our lives and our work from several perspectives.
·We can perceive that we are cleaning up people’s messes like a health janitor. Patients experience trauma, make poor choices, lead an unhealthy lifestyle, and we’re here to mop the floor.
·We can look at ourselves like mechanics for the body. Patients come in broken down, malfunctioning, with all kinds of flashing warning lights and we diagnose the issue and fix it.
·Finally, we can see ourselves as world changers. Moms, dads, children, grandparents, teachers, politicians, policemen, pastors, mechanics, and janitors come to us not fully alive, living life below their potential, greatly or subtly unsatisfied, and without the health left in their bodies to fulfill their destiny.
Rather than mop up a mess or fix a broken piece, we do as Michelangelo said, “I saw the angel in the marble, and I carved until I set him free.”
As world-changers, we restore people back to health so they can go out and fulfill God’s purposes or as Dr. B.J. Palmer put it, “Make the world a safe, sane place for decent people to live. – We care for patients so that we can save the world.”
Have fun saving the world
