I thought this little piece so demonstrated a "well being".....

The Mayonnaise Jar and
2 Cups of Coffee

When things in your lives seem
almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise
jar and the 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his
philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly 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 an 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--your family your children,your health and your favorite passions--and 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, your house and your 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.
'Pay attention to the things
that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your spouse out to dinner.
Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf
balls first--the things that really
matte r. 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.'
