FROM THE OFFICE OF DR.DOS SANTOS
Your Best Friend
I am your best friend, but you do not realize it. Yes, I like you in my life, but you prefer other friends. You rather stay in your comfortable home instead of going out with me. You choose your TV, sofa, iPhone, and playing video games instead of spending time with me.
You know, I am the best thing that has ever happened to you. I can help you with many situations, even health problems. I can help you to avoid diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. No, I am not a pill, but many call me that. And I can help you to prevent heart disease, stroke, and even cancer. But you still do not like me. Why?
How about your weight. You are in big trouble with that, and I am the only one who can help. But you always throw me out. Why is that that you dislike me so much? You know with me you could wear your old clothes again. And better, you could buy new clothes and reach your lean shape. Yes, I could help you to fulfill the dream of your life, but you reject me.
I am not a psychiatrist or counselor, but I could help you with your stress, anxiety, and depression. But you prefer the medications. I can help you with your sleep, but you choose the pills. I could help you with your physical and mental performance, but you prefer “red bull!”
How about your back pain? That is another thing I could help with, but no, you ask the doctor for strong pills. I keep telling you that I can help, but I only get a rejection from you. Was that something I did for you in the past? In fact, when you were younger, we were such good friends! Remember, we spent time together mostly every day and much more during the weekends. Now you left me behind!
I compare this situation to those romances when a person is in love with someone who did not correspond while someone closer loves them a lot, but they do not realize. Yes, that is what is happening between us. I am available, I am at your side always, but you ignore me. I am here to get you a wonderful life, maybe the best life you can have in this world, but you seem not to see it.
Who am I? No, I am not your mother and neither a relative of yours. Not your doctor, too, even though he has talked to you about me many times. No, I am not a psychologist or a mental health professional, but I can help with your mood. No, I am not a genie or a magician, but I can give you so many prizes. And I am not a healer, but I can tell you that I am able to make miracles.
And no, I am not God, even though He created me. So, who am I? My name is PA*, most people call me WO*, but my real name is EXERCISE. I am your best friend! Would you, please, spend more time with me?
“When you walk, your steps will not be impeded; And if you run, you will not stumble.” Proverbs 4:12
*PA – Physical Activity
*WO – Work Out
