A co-worker shared a story with me and I’m sharing it with you. He spoke of a person who spent their week days and weekends constantly working. No time for relaxation and/or fun. After doing this for a while the person experienced a “humbling moment” that caused them to reflect on their life. After some deep conversations with themselves they decided to make some changes. The person purchased some marbles and a jar, calculated how many Saturdays they had until their 90th birthday and proceeded to fill the jar with that number of marbles. Each Saturday the person would remove a marble from the jar thus reminding themselves to make the most of that day. Once the person reached 90 years old the jar was empty, so every Saturday after that they considered it a “Gift”.
