The pebbles/sand are the other things in life that matter, but on a smaller scale:

Want a shocker? Take the average amount of time that you watch TV per day or play video games per day, e.g., two hours (below the national average).

Do you realize that over a period of 60 years, you will spend the equivalent of 7 ½ years sitting in front of the TV every waking hour of the day?! Imagine what a person could accomplish in 7 ½ years!

It’s important to slow down to look at the people and circumstances around us. Otherwise, before we know it, our life will pass and we might realize that we paid attention to the wrong things.
