What Are Your Rocks?
This week we share a powerful message from Sahil Bloom. Sahil’s message is a great reminder about prioritizing where are focus should be, on the things that really matter!
Check Out Our Video Of The Week – West Coast Toyota – Toyota BZ4X
There is a rather well-known story that I like to remind myself of every year around the holidays.
It is the story of rocks, pebbles, and sand.
A professor walks into his class and sets a few items out on the table:
- A large glass jar
- A bunch of rocks
- A bunch of pebbles
- A pile of sand
The professor puts the rocks into the glass jar and holds it up in front of the students.
"Is the jar full?" he asks.
They all nod their heads—yes, the jar is full.
Then he pours the pebbles into the jar. He shakes it a little bit and lets the pebbles settle into all of the nooks and crannies between the larger rocks.
Again, he asks, "Is the jar full?"
Smiling, they again all nod their heads—yes, now the jar is full.
Then he pours the pile of sand into the jar. He shakes it a little bit and lets the sand fill every last bit of space between the large rocks and pebbles.
Once again, he asks, "Is the jar full?"
The students realize they've been beaten—yes, now the jar is full.
The professor proceeds to explain that the jar represents your life:
- The rocks are the most important things—your family, your dearest friends, your health, your basic needs, and the like.
- The pebbles are the other important things—your career, your looser friends, your hobbies, and the like.
- The sand is everything else in your life—your possessions, loose acquaintances, and the like.
The professor makes his two key points:
If you only have your rocks (and remove the pebbles and sand), your jar still feels full. As long as you have your family, your dearest friends, your health, and your basic needs, your life will always feel full.
Key Takeaway #1
If you just have your rocks and remove the pebbles and sand, your life still feels full. Always cherish your rocks!
If you put the sand into the jar first, you'll never have room for the rocks and the pebbles. If you spend all your time worrying about material possessions and low-meaning things, you'll never have time to focus on what truly matters.
Key Takeaway # 2
If you put the sand in your jar first, you’ll never have room for the rocks and pebbles. Prioritize what truly matters before you focus on the little things.
I love this story and find value in reminding myself of it at this time of year. It's easy to get caught in the "sand trap"—to lose sight of what is important.
So this week, I'd encourage you to think deeply about one question:
What are your rocks?
