Negativity and selfishness gets great publicity in our social networking, indirect-contact society. You’d be led to believe the world’s running low on good people and that no one cares for or respects one another anymore. Their only concerns are themselves; and when they’re in need, no one is willing to lend them a hand without reward.
This is not the case. Kind, caring, selflessly-generous people still exist. Dr. Karen May is a shining example.
The founder of Momentum Health Neuropathy Center and a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician, Dr. May has served as team physician for the US Bobsled and Skeleton National teams, serviced Olympic Athletes at Lake Placid USOC training center, and provided care for members of her Lansing, MI community.
In 2017 Dr. May experienced complications from shoulder surgery that caused nerve damage and neuropathy on the dominant side of her body. Not settling for a reliance on prescription drugs, she explored natural options that aligned with her Functional Medicine practice.
Dr. May’s recovery led to the formation of her national Neuropathy practice, a transformation program that includes a 12-week boot camp with a 95+% success rate, and helping more than 300 people live their lives free from the effects of neuropathy.
While good at what she does, she’s also a good person and one who believes in helping others.
I asked Dr. Karen May to tell me about a time when she did something nice for someone that she didn’t know. Here’s what she shared.
“I will tell you this question is not easy. And here is the reason why it’s not easy.
I have been humbled. I am a helper by nature. It doesn’t matter if I know you or if I don’t know you, but God has challenged me to do it out of love and not out of pride.
So, when I’ve been praying over this to come up with one time, I’m thinking, oh, there’s not just one time.
But like you said about the other Shining Examples and how much you love each and every one for a different reason, whether it touches one person or five thousand, that’s how I look at this example. So, I have to be careful not to be prideful when I say how I’ve helped.
I can think of just simple things. To me, especially when we’ve all been shielded behind these masks, it is literally just a smile, and a patience, and asking someone how their day is because we’re asking about them. So just that kindness and that simplicity.
I’m thinking about the grocery store clerk just this morning because the person in front of me wasn’t nice.
I don’t want kindness to be one grand gesture. I want it to be little things on a daily basis that deposit love and kindness and understanding because, man, do we need a lot of that right now in this divided world.” |THIS.
