Is It Full?

  1. Take a jar and fill it with stones.  Ask the audience, "is it full?"
  2. Leaving the stones in the jar, fill the jar with sand.  Ask the audience, "is it full?"
  3. Leaving the stones and sand in the jar, fill the jar with water.  Ask the audience, "is it full?"
If I had started with the water, I wouldn't have been able to add anything else.  The jar would have been already full.

Life is the same way.  If we don't fill our lives with what has the biggest importance, we will fill it up with the smaller things.  Then, there won't be room for the bigger things.
