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 two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space 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 matter like 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 for the 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.

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.’

Bikini’s and Knee High Socks. Style on ‘em.

Intention is the core of all conscious life. It is our intentions that create karma, our intentions that help others, our intentions that lead us away from the delusions of individuality toward the immutable verities of enlightened awareness. Conscious intention colors and moves everything.

People who knows me say I never sleep. I say Money Never Sleeps. Im always working and such, but thats not the only reason. Little did others know that it’s hard to sleep well and tight when you always gotta be on your feet and expect the unexpected. As both my parents are getting older and weaker especially my mom which leaves her almost disabled. But today as I was awoken up by an emergency rushing my dad to the doctors in the early morning with 4 hours of sleep. Who else can they count on to be there for them but their son which is me. So in this picture in my point view shows that as our parents our loved ones get older it is up to you to help them get through it and take care of them. So the hand and the heart is relevant. My parents are my guardian angel they protect me. Appreciate the people who love and care for you and return the favor when you can. Once time comes all thats left would be memories. Think about when you were sick with a fever or cold when you were younger who was there to take care of you see if you were okay. Starting the year off fresh, I Love You Mom and Dad. I will do my best to do my part and we’re going to be okay. One Love<3

I know this picture is a very common one. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I personally feel as if this means the girl is letting go something she cares about or something important which is why the balloon is a heart. In this case I feel as if Im at a new chapter in my life and if you love something you have to let it go or make a sacrifice sometimes. I feel like im in this position at the moment so this picture will do. Just A Different Point of View. Happy Holidays. Take Care.
