Life Lessons from a Jar

Is this jar full?

Yes.

And is it full now?

Yes.

And how about now? Is the jar full now?

Yes.

Yeah, it is.

Now, I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

Golf balls

are the important things: your family, your friends, your health, and your

passions. The pebbles are the other important things: your car,

your,

your job, your home.

The sand is everything else. It's just the small stuff.

Now, if you put the sand in the jar first, you won't have room for the pebbles or

the golf balls, and the same is true in life.

Spend all your energy and your time on the small stuff,

you won't have time for all the really important things that matter to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Take care of the golf balls first, the really important things.

Set your priorities, because everything else is,

it's just sand. Yes?

Uh, Professor, what does, what does the beer represent?

I'm glad you asked. It goes to show that no matter how full

your life may seem to be, there's always room for a couple of beers

with a friend.
