We've all heard of that famous demonstration where large rocks are placed in a jar and it looks full. Until smaller rocks are added, and then it looks full again, and so on. This jar demonstration is of course a metaphor for life. When you pay attention first to things like goal setting and personal development, the daily chores will be able to fit in around them.

 

Eric shares his insight on:

  • How to identify the bigger and more important aspects of life, over the smaller tasks that don't mean as much.
  • How the rock metaphor apples to life by showing you that when you prioritize the important things, everything else will fall into place.
  • How you can apply this metaphor in a completely literal way when building ponds -the big rocks are statement pieces and should be placed first, with smaller spaces between.
  • How a pond differs from the jar, because in landscaping, you can leave an empty space in between the other items.

D-Mac and Bhoondi Dougie Mackie & Gavin Kerr Cafe Convo’s is a “Welcome to a new week”, positive chat with some great value people who just wanna help others. We talk about anything, have no shame, may even be a little crass at times, but within these 20 minute episodes, we'll always deliver you a gift at the end of the chat with what we call a “piece of Mac”, which is part of our process of aligning to help you discover your own mindset and way of life. That sounds pretty deep right? - well maybe it is, worth a listen though right? :-) Explicit The Deep End Michael Vespa The show journeys through life, goals, health, and everything.

New episodes Monday and Thursday. Explicit Shameless Ky Speaking Keila Batista This podcast is all about transparency and forward movement. Life is full of blessings and bullshit! We can either sink in life or we can learn to swim. I choose to dive deep into everything, boldly and unapologetically unafraid of the consequences. Sometimes I mess up, but I always end up on top in the end. And I know what you're thinking, it's not luck. I've just learned how to navigate through all the bullshit. I found my inner peace that way. And this is all about the reckless, hilarious, and inspirational stories about how I got here and where I want to go.
