Imagine

Imagine yourself in a third world country. Close your eyes, right now. Now open them and focus on this story. You have no cell phone, computer, or television. You have no car, only your feet for transportation. The scenery that you are currently looking at is dirt ground, spacious land without buildings, and miles of dirt. If you look closely you will see animals of all kinds. Some may be dangerous, others looking for food. It is time for you to go to work. You walk a few miles on more dirt paths. The job you work is in a small village where you sell food, but you are hungry. There are acquaintances from other villages that may have different jobs, they to are hungry. The work day is over, and it is time to go to school for a few hours. You get to eat, and may be able to play soccer before the sun sets. Night has come, and you lay awake in your cot, in your small hut, with your family in the next room. At 14, this is your life. Living in a third world country. This is a true story from a now 21 year old who is attending the University of Minnesota that I met a week ago. Stay in your health, stay in the moment. Self-Balance-Higher Power-Fun
