When stress makes you feel low- remember this...

When the stress in your life feels too much to handle,
when 24 hours in a day are not enough,
when the world seems really BIG
and you feel really small
remember the mayonnaise jar and the coffee:

A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front on 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 it was.

So then 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 if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

Read the rest of this remarkable story...
