If you have not read the story of this remarkable eighteen year old man, then you need to do it right now. Benjamin "Breedlove" passed on December 25, 2011 at the young age of eighteen, but he was well beyond his years and wisdom. Watching the below videos and reading more about this man's life and knowledge really kept my question going of "what is this?" What is this life, what am I doing in it, or rather what SHOULD I be doing in it.
For those of you who do not know I lost my older brother on February 3, 2008. Since that day I feel like I have battled with this question and with myself internally. Though, I have had the experience to realize how short life is and how much of it we really do take for granted. Tomorrow may never come for us, or for those who we love so don't waste what time you are given - is my philosophy these days. Even still I do find myself taking my days for granted.
Reading about Ben's story, reading about his life, and his heart really made me think (again) that I can do much more with my life.
So, if you have a few minutes, please read Ben's story and think about what you are doing right now within your own life. I think we can all do so much more (including myself).
