A seminar leader wanted to make an important point, so he took a wide-mouth jar and filled it with rocks. "Is the jar full?" he asked. "Yes," came a reply. "Oh really?" he said. Then he poured smaller pebbles into the jar to fill the spaces between the rocks. "Is it full now?" "Yes," said someone else. "Oh really?" He then filled the remaining spaces between the rocks and stones with sand. "Is it full now?" he asked. "Probably not," said another, to the amusement of the audience. Then he took a pitcher of water and pour it into the jar.
"What's is the lesson we learn from this?" he asked. An eager participant spoke up. "No matter how full the jar is, there's always room for more." "Not quite." said the leader. "The lesson is to get everything in the jar, you must always put the big things in first."
What are you putting first in your life?
