Stones, pebbles and sand.

Think everyone should have heard about this story.
http://www.storiesofwisdom.com/time-management-stones-pebbles-sand/

Anyway, my point is that focus on the big items in life first, the rest of the smaller items will then fall in place. If we just focus on small items (sand), it may filled up the jar and will not be able to fill the stones and pebbles (bigger things in life).

I realized that I am a shallow and narrow person as I was focusing with these small items in my life; neglecting the bigger ones. By focusing on the bigger items in life, helps me to built my character and expand my capacity. With a greater capacity, that would mean that the smaller items are easily attainable.

However, as I was too caught up in chasing the smaller items that I have never managed to expand my capacity. I was just filling up the jar with sand and forgot about pebbles and stones, now there’s no space for them.

I have decided to leave the sand aside and want to empty my jar. More importantly is to start placing the stones into my jar. By doing so, I believe the sand will fall in place in the future and should not rush to put them in.

There are so much possibility in life, why am I limiting myself? (Too narrow/stubborn.)

Take it as it comes with one step at a time . . .
