How to Refill an Empty Life

The essay I would like to recommend is How to Refill an Empty Life by Albert J. Nesbitt.

One day about fifteen years ago I suddenly came face to face with myself and realized there was something quite empty about my life. My friends and associates perhaps didn’t see it. By the generally accepted standards, I was “successful,” I was head of a prosperous manufacturing concern, and led what is usually referred to as an “active” life, both socially and in business. But it didn’t seem to me to be adding up to anything. I was going around in circles. I worked hard, played hard, and pretty soon I discovered that I was hitting the highballs harder than I needed. I wasn’t a candidate for Alcoholics Anonymous, but to be honest with myself I had to admit I was drinking more than was good for me. It may have been out of sheer boredom.

I appreciated this essay because while reading this essay I felt a connection with the author of this essay.  Nesbitt talks about despite been “successful” in his life, one day he realized his life was empty. Same thing occured to me in my early year's of high school, I had perfect classes that i wanted to be in, my grades were high, it was a nice, smooth life. but sudenly, like Nesbitt, I also felt emptiness in my life. To fulfill his emptiness, Nesbitt, return to the Christian principles on which he was raised. Since i felt the same emptiness, I begun to wonder to what to do, how to fulfill the void of emptiness in my life. With lot of thinking, I concluded that, I felt emptiness because I was focusing to much on my studies. Because of that I decided to do things I always to do, and then I begun to live a full life.
