Priorities
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when
24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar
and the 2 cups of coffee . A professor stood before his
philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the
class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty
mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He
then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that
it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into
the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the
students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sa nd and poured it into
the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He
asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded
with an unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the
table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively
filling the empty space between the sand. The students
laughed.
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want
you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf
balls are the important things---your family, your children,
your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and 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 and 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 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. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your
parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical
checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the
disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that
really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the
coffee represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad
you asked.'
The coffee just shows you that no matter how full your life
may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee
with a friend.'

Pointless.
To be honest, I don't really have anything to say. I just wanted to post because I noticed I haven't in a while. I was going to last week when I had a mini breakdown but decided not to cuz I was too lazy and didn't wanna sound over dramatic. Life is still good.. there's just some aspects of it that could be better. I don't wanna think about it though, I'm just gonna stress myself out. So I'd rather not. :)
