Marbles

There was a man who had a jar of marbles. He read that the average American lives to be around 75 years old. This man loved the weekend; no work, taking it easy, waking up early and enjoying the silence. So, using his age, he calculated how many weekends he had left if he were to live until 75. After filling a jar with his remaining "weekends", he would remove a marble once a week to symbolize the time he had left, and the time he could never get back. This caused him to daily evaluate his priorities and cherish every day.

Life is short and we must not waste any time we have here. I am a notorious time waster, so I am considering taking up the "jar of marbles" challenge as a daily reminder. I am still young, so it may be a lot of marbles!!! Maybe I will just do decades for now..
