I’m reminded
of a philosophy professor who stood before his class with some items on the
table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very
large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2
inches in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed
that it was.
So, the professor 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. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They
agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the
jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar. He then
asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous
“Yes.”
“Now,” said the professor, “I want
you to recognise that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the
important things – your family, your partner, your health and your children –
things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would
still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job,
your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.” “If you
put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the
pebbles 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 room for the
things that are important to you. Over this Christmas season pay attention to
the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children, spend some quality time with your partner, family and friends. There will always be time to go to work, clean the
house, give a dinner party, or fix the sink.” Set your priorities, the rest is just sand.
This will be my last post for 2019 as I take some time out to
be with family and friends. Allow me to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support, much appreciated. Wishing you
all an awesome Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
