The pebbles are other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.
The sand is everything else-the small stuff.
'If you put sand into jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for pebbles or golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on small stuff, you will never have room for things that are important.'
So, pay attention to things that are most important. Take care of your health - cook with your kids! - spend time with those you love.
There's always time to clean house - it's a never ending job anyway :-).
Take care of golf balls first, things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
Wondering what coffee represents?
No matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple cups of coffee with a friend - or a soda if you're like me and don't drink coffee!!
