I came across this real eye opening article in a local magazine and decided to put it up on my blog. It’s one of those things that are supposed to make you realize how empty and hollow your life is =) But I liked the article and am putting it up anyway. It’s a comparison between the easy and the hard things in life. I liked it because it makes you think about the important things in life (for a couple of seconds anyway), and hopefully, if you read it enough, one day – you might actually implement some of the message it is trying to convey. Anyways – I am all for feel good – ‘lets try to improve ourselves’ kind of articles. So read it – and become a better person!!

I changed it a little bit (sort of fine tuned it) I later googled this article and found it all over the web. Not really sure who came up with it – but whoever did – I applaud him/her for this extremely will written message. I am not really a changed person – but it does give me something to think about now.
