It's all about sequences....(pls make sure you've red A Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee previously)
1. Fill the empty jar with the golf balls.
It was full. I agreed, yoou agreed.
2. Then, pour the pebbles into the jar. Shake the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. Of course, the jar was FULL.
3. Next, pour the sand into the jar. The sand filled up everything else. Definitely, the jar was FFUULL.
4. Finally, pour the entire coffee into the jar. To my surprise, it effectively filling the empty space between the sand. I was amazed!
See? It was all about sequences. You can try any other way, but it won't do any success. And now, recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the mportant things - God, family, children, health, friends and yur favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and they remained your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other that matter like your job, house and your car.
The sand is everything else - the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there will be no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for 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. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Take care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
What about the 2 cups of coffee??
Well, it just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.
