The last of those "rejuvenating romantic ideas" doesn’t seem too appealing after the day you’ve had, does it? I know how you feel. I’m right there with you.

Lovemaking, and romance in general for that matter, is probably the last thing on your mind when you finish all your daily chores. I’m guessing that you begin dreaming about your bed somewhere between sitting in traffic and preparing dinner. Am I right?

Unfortunately, the average daily grind is a life circumstance that we cannot avoid. But we can choose the way that we will handle it.

While it’s easier to choose the path of least resistance, and let the insignificant details of your life take over your existence, I strongly urge you not to fall into that trap.

As a philosophy professor once said, “Separate the golf balls from the sand and pebbles…and find time to have coffee with your friends.”

“Huhhh?” Is that what you’re thinking to yourself? Ok. I’ll explain briefly. Sometime ago, I heard a story about a philosophy professor who decided to perform an experiment with his class.

He filled an empty jar with golf balls and asked the class if the jar was full. The class unanimously said yes.

He then poured sand into the jar filling the empty space between the jar and the golf balls. Again he asked the class if the jar was full and the class answered yes.

Continuing further, he began to fill the jar with sand. And once again asked the class the same question and received a similar response.

Finally, a student raised her hand and asked, “What’s the point of all this?” “I’m glad you asked,” said the professor and began to explain…

“The golf balls are the important things in your life, like your family, friends, and lovers.

The pebbles are the things that you need in order to live, such as a job and a roof over your head.

The sand is all the other nonsense that fills your days.”

To answer your question -- the point is that your life will be full with just the golf balls. So whenever you’re deciding between two daily activities and can’t seem to find time to do both, I suggest you pick the golf balls.”

Those are some of the wisest words that I have ever heard and ones I hope you remember when unintentionally ignoring your love life.

You must find time to rejuvenate yourself – mind, body, and spirit – so that you’re ready when ingenius romantic ideas and moments of blissful pleasure present themselves. Remember that if you allow the romance ball to roll too far, you might never find it.
