Stop filing your life

Transcript

00:00One day, a professor walked into the classroom carrying a large glass jar.

00:05As always, there was a spark of intelligent curiosity in his eyes.

00:10The students were looking at him with great interest.

00:14The professor placed the jar on the table and brought out several large rocks from underneath.

00:20Each rock was about the size of a fist.

00:24He began placing them into the jar one by one until no more could fit.

00:29Then he looked at the class and asked,

00:33Is this jar full now?

00:35The students looked and saw that no more rocks could be added,

00:39so most of them nodded and said,

00:41Yes sir, it's full.

00:43The professor smiled and pulled out a bag filled with small pebbles.

00:47He poured the pebbles into the jar and gave it a slight shake.

00:52The pebbles filled in the gaps between the rocks.

00:55Again he asked,

00:57Is it full now?

00:59Some students hesitated a bit this time, but many replied,

01:03Yes sir, now it's really full.

01:07Next the professor brought out a bag of sand and began pouring it into the jar.

01:13The grains of sand filled all the remaining spaces between the rocks and pebbles.

01:19Once again he asked,

01:21Is it full now?

01:23This time the whole class responded together.

01:25Probably.

01:27Finally the professor took out a mug of water and poured it into the jar.

01:33The water seeped through the sand and filled the jar completely.

01:37He smiled and said,

01:39Yes, now the jar is truly full.

01:43Then the professor looked at the class and said,

01:47This jar represents your life.

01:49The big rocks are the most important things in life.

01:53Your family, your health, your deep relationships, and your personal dreams and goals.

02:01Even if you lose everything else,

02:03As long as you have these,

02:05Your life will still feel complete.

02:07The pebbles represent other important things.

02:11Your career, your house, your car, or your university degree.

02:17These are important too, but not as essential as the rocks.

02:21And the sand represents the small stuff,

02:25Like scrolling through social media,

02:27Unnecessary online shopping,

02:29Or day to day trivial activities that don't carry much meaning.

02:33He explained,

02:35If you fill the jar with sand or pebbles first,

02:39There will be no room for the big rocks.

02:41The same goes for life.

02:43If you spend your time and energy on the little things,

02:46Or less important matters,

02:48You won't have space left for what truly matters.

02:52Your rocks are the pillars of your life,

02:54Your family,

02:56Your health,

02:57Your dreams,

02:58Your passions.

03:00If you don't realize their value,

03:02And don't focus on them first,

03:04One day you may realize,

03:06You've left out the most important parts of life.

03:09The professor's final message was even deeper.

03:12Place your rocks first.

03:14They give your life meaning and foundation.

03:18Never let the pebbles and sand take their place.

03:20At the end of your journey,

03:22It's the weight of those rocks that will define the value of your life.

03:26So fill your life with things that nourish your soul,

03:30And fulfill your heart.

03:32The rest,

03:34The pebbles and sand,

03:36Are just external.

03:38After the professor finished speaking,

03:40One student raised their hand and asked,

03:42Sir, what does the water represent?

03:46The professor smiled and said,

03:50Great question.

03:52The water shows that no matter how busy life gets,

03:56There's always room for small moments of joy,

03:58Like having a cup of tea or coffee with a friend.

04:02Often we try to balance all our priorities,

04:04And fit everything into the limited hours of the day.

04:08We get so busy with everyday tasks and small matters,

04:12That we forget what's truly important.

04:14This jar,

04:16This life,

04:18Is not limitless.

04:20If you fill it first with sand and pebbles,

04:22There'll be no room left for the rocks.

04:24So I say,

04:26Place your rocks first,

04:28Your family,

04:29Your health,

04:30Your dreams,

04:31Your love.

04:32Make time for your loved ones,

04:34Take care of your physical and mental health,

04:37And follow your dreams and passions with courage.

04:41And in between,

04:43Remember to leave space for learning,

04:45Growing,

04:47And showing empathy.

04:49And the water.

04:51Those are the little joys,

04:53The unexpected laughs,

04:55The shared moments with friends.

04:57No matter how full life seems,

04:59There's always room for these tiny bursts of happiness.

05:03The pebbles and sand,

05:05They're necessary too,

05:07But don't let them replace the rocks.

05:09In the end,

05:11Remember,

05:12Life is not about being busy.

05:14It's about being meaningful.

05:16It's not about counting the days,

05:18But making the days count.

05:20Create a balance among the rocks,

05:23The pebbles,

05:24The sand,

05:25And the water.

05:26One that brings true joy,

05:28And completeness to your life.
