The Weight of an Empty Jar 🫙
In a small town, a teacher placed an empty glass jar on her desk and asked her students, “How heavy is this jar?”
“Barely anything!” they replied.
The teacher nodded and held it out. “Now imagine holding this jar all day. By evening, would it still feel light?”
The students frowned. “No, it would feel heavier over time.”
The teacher smiled. “That’s how worries work. Alone, they seem small, but the longer you hold on to them, the heavier they become. The trick is to put the jar down when you can.”
The students sat in silence, each thinking of the invisible jars they carried.
