So the wise man then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. The audience laughed. The wise man picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. "Now," said the wise man, "I want you to recognize that this is your life. The rocks are the important things - your spiritual duties, your family, your partner, your health, your children - anything that is so important to you that if it were lost, you would be nearly destroyed. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, car, etc. The sand is everything else, the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles and the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children, Take your spouse out for dinner or a movie. Take time to exercise and get medical check-ups. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, and fix the disposal. Take care of the rocks first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand. -Author Unknown Back
