The Jar of Marbles

Life is much like a jar of marbles, each time you remove a marble there will be less marbles left in the jar.
Therefore in life the more you take out of each moment, the less marbles you will have to remove.
We all get to a point in our lives, were we feel that there simply isn't enough time.
We want to go out and see the world, meet new people, spread new ideas.
However we are constrained by outside forces that limit what we can do.
When the opportunity arises, in which we have a chance to experience new things, time slips by and we are left with wanting more.
Every day we live a marble is removed, how we spend each day is what will determine when the marble will be removed.
If we waste our time, and not be mindful of the moments slipping by, a marble will be removed immediately; since there is only so many marbles a jar can hold, we will run out of marbles quickly.
However if we spend every moment we can pursuing life to the fullest, then by the end of our lives, there will still be some marbles remaining in the jar, and our life will have been much more happier, and much more longer.
