When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in aday are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar ... and the coffee .

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in frontof him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large andempty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He thenasked 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 thejar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areasbetween the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar wasfull. They agreed it was.The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Ofcourse, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jarwas full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table andpoured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the emptyspace between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, " I want you torecognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are theimportant things-God, family, your children, your health, your friends, andyour favorite passions/things that if everything else was lost and onlythey remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the otherthings that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand iseverything else - the small stuff."If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no roomfor the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life. If you spendall your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room forthe things that are important. Pay attention to the things that arecritical to your happiness.. Play with your children. Take time to getmedical checkups. Take your wife/husband/kids out to dinner. Maybe evenplay another 18.

There's always time to clean the house and fix thedisposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that reallymatter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffeerepresented.The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you thatno matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple ofcups of coffee with a friend."Please share this with someone you care about.
