WHAT MATTERS MOST

WHAT MATTERS MOST

Let’s talk about setting importance level for the things in our lives.

I happen to be a very devoted and passionate network marketer. And I do attend all necessary trainings conducted by our system. Every now and then, stories and tell-tale examples are best way to explain what the trainer wants to say. 

A very good example, which with all honesty, I’ve read it somewhere long time back but never dig deeper into what this example is really all about. It’s about the rocks in a jar.

Requirements: large enough jar, rocks, pebbles, sands and water.

1^st scenario:

First you pour the water into the jar then the sand. What do we see, the jar starts to fill up pretty quickly. Next we put some pebbles, this time the jar is almost filled up. Remember, you still need to put the rocks. The question, where? Not enough space.

So you ask yourself, “How will I fit rocks in almost full jar?”

2^nd scenario:

Instead of putting the water, put rocks in first then the pebbles, next the sand and finally the water. What did you notice?  The pebbles fill the spaces in between the rocks. The sand fell into the spaces between the rocks and the pebbles as with the water. You will see that this time everything fits inside the jar.

 

This is the best illustration of how you should give importance on the things of our lives.

Give priority to the big things first. You need to know what your priorities are.

I may ask you, what are the things that matter the most in your life?
