I recently came across the “Rubber Ball and Glass Ball” theory and it honestly shifted something in me.
Every day we’re juggling so much.
Work. The house. Messages. Commitments. Expectations. Family.
It can feel relentless.
But here’s the perspective that stopped me in my tracks, not every ball we’re holding is the same.
Some are rubber.
They can drop.
The missed workout.
The unanswered email.
The laundry that waits.
The plans you reschedule.
They bounce. They recover. They’re forgiving.
But some are glass.
And those are sacred.
The bedtime chats.
The slow mornings.
The laughter around the dinner table.
The quiet moments with your partner.
The ordinary days that don’t look big at the time, but one day you realise they were everything.
Glass doesn’t bounce.
It breaks.
I’m learning that success isn’t about keeping every ball in the air perfectly.
It’s about knowing which ones you can let fall… and which ones you need to protect.
Because in the end, it won’t be the perfectly managed schedule that defines our life.
It’ll be the moments we chose to guard.
Guard the glass.
Let the rubber bounce 🤍
