Blog log #2 – Breathe a Little Easier

Read the article here.

The thing that interested me about the content of the article was the topic. The topic was about friendship and understanding a little portion of what our purpose in life is. The article suggests that success in life is not about “… growing up, having kids, or being a millionaire.” But it is about being in the moment, celebrating life and serving other people to help them “breathe a little easier.” I have seen many movies where the goal of someone’s life is to become wealthy or create a family, but I have not seen many films where the goal is to just live a happy life by helping others. The article also explains how we don’t appreciate something until we have lost it. This is extremely accurate and relevant to people’s lifes today in a world where everything is instantaneous. I liked how the author gave insight on the details of his life ranging from the best moments to the worst.
