170703 - Motivation Monday - "Prioritize"

The other day I stumbled across a video that had a profound meaning for me about prioritizing what is most important. The video explained a story about a professor that set an empty jar on his desk and said that it represented life. He proceeded to fill that jar full of ping pong balls. These represent your family, friends, and passions. These should and can fulfill your life. Then he added jelly beans! They filled the cracks between the ping pong balls. These represent the other things in your life like career, home, and other responsibilities. He proceeded to fill the already full jar with sand next and it filled the little cracks between the other objects. The sand represents the other "small stuff" in life. Finally, he slowly poured a little beer on top and it sank through the sand so it didn't overflow. 
In this jar of life scenario, if the professor had poured the sand in first, there wouldn't have been room for the other objects. Even the jelly beans going in first would make it much more difficult to fit all of the ping pong balls in there. So, the moral of the story is that we need to fill our jars with the big important stuff first because if we don't, there won't be room for it. 
You might be asking, why did he pour beer on top??? Good question! Simply to represent that no matter what, there's always time to slow down and have a beer!
