A teacher stood before his class with some items on the
table in front of him. When the class began, he picked up a jar and proceeded
to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.
He asked the students - if the jar was full. They
agreed yes.
Now the teacher picked up a box of small stones and
poured them into the jar. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas
between the rocks.
He then asked the students again - if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The teacher picked up a box of sand and filled the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He then asked once more if the jar was full. The
students responded with a single “Yes.”
Now, said the teacher, I want you to identify that this
jar represents your life. The rocks are the
important things – like goal or aim
you want to reach.
The small stones are the other things like your job,
your house, your car.
The sand is everything else. The small stuff.
If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no space
for the small stones or the rocks. The same goes for your life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small
stuff, you will never have time for the things that are important to you.
Setting priorities in your life and achieving them lead to fulfillment and happinness.
May #Happiness be your mantra this year !
