Today I’m re-sharing a well known metaphor—the origin of which is often attributed to author, Nora Roberts.
Everything you’re juggling right now—job, kids, health, finances, friends, mental health—is either a glass ball or a rubber ball.

Knowing the difference between the rubber and glass balls helps us focus on what’s most important.
