This is a slightly different spin on something I've had before

   The  Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee

When  things in your life  seem Almost too much to  handle,

When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,

Remember The Mayonnaise Jar And 2 Cups of Coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy  class And had some items in front of him.

When the class began,  wordlessly.He 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 sand 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 a unanimous  'YES'.

The professor then  produced 2 cups of coffee from under the  table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling  the empty spaces 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  -Family,  Children,  Health,Friends, and Favorite Passions.Things that if everything else was  lost and only they  remained,your life would still be  full.

The Pebbles are the other things that  matterlike your Job, House, and  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  forthe things that are IMPORTANT to   you.

So...Pay attention  to the things that are critical to your  happiness.Play with your children.Take time to get Medical  Checkups.Take your Partner 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.'I'm glad you  asked'.It just goes to show you that no  matter how full your life may seem, 
there's always  room for a couple of cups of Coffee with a Friend.'Please share this  withSomeone you care about, I JUST  DID
