Friday Inspiration **Put the BIG ROCKS in First!**

Remember the story about putting rocks in a jar?

· If you put in pebbles before the big rocks, you end up with no room for the big ones
· But if you put in all the big rocks first, you have plenty of room for the little rocks to fill in the smaller spaces.

· Now imagine that your life is that jar.
· What are the big rocks, the life purpose rocks, that MUST be put in first?
· That require your attention and focus each day?
· And what are the little rocks that you want to ensure come second?
· Make sure you are attending to the big rocks in your life.

· First: Make sure you determine and know where you want to be at the end of your life—what your big rocks are.
· When you put your head on the pillow what will have you say:
· “Wow! What an amazing, meaningful, wonderful life I’ve led!”

· Next: connect your daily life to those big rocks.

· Finally, allow the little rocks to fill in the gaps and be a “back burner” focus!

· This will allow you to live a life filled with joy and meaning!
