Situational Ethics was one of the greatest “light bulb” moments for me when I first heard it in Chiropractic College. It was part of a class taught by our college President; Dr. Guy Riekeman.

Situational Ethics means we as individuals do “what’s right” based on the situation we are in. The greatest example of this is the law abiding citizen who lives according to a moral or ethical code – however, is willing to jeopardize that and break the law if it means stealing food to feed their family.

On another deeper level of understanding human nature: author, Neale Donald Walsch says, “No one does anything inappropriate given their model of the world.”

This fascinates me, especially if I catch myself judging or criticizing others. In essence, what I am doing is projecting my beliefs and values on others who are operating with an entirely different set of beliefs and values.

As a chiropractor and wellness educator I give the greatest gift I know to give – an increase in health, vitality, and energy. Yet I am challenged with a society that doesn’t put enough of a priority on their health, vitality and energy until they are in an absolute crisis – then they expect a “quick fix!”

You know what though? It is all WORTH IT!
