Big Rocks

Not everything matters equally, but everything competes for your time.

What are the big rocks in your life? The people, priorities, and values that deserve first placement.

When small rocks and sand fill the space, the big rocks never fit. Days get busy. Weeks fill quickly. What matters most often waits.

Family is a big rock for me, even though I don’t always honor it the way I want to. A couple of weeks ago, I chose to give it the priority it deserves. My wife and I decided to attend our daughter’s band concert, even though it meant an eight-hour drive and staying away from home longer than planned. Choosing what matters created unexpected space for connection, including time with my brother and his family.

As the year winds down and you begin looking ahead, pause and consider your big rocks. What needs protection, not just intention? What needs space, not someday?

Choose to make room for what matters most. Choose the big rocks first.

As the year turns, the focus will shift from 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 to 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵.

Merry Christmas! 🎄
