How Can I Get 1% Better?
The answer – Enjoy your QTL
Stop to smell the roses, per say. We can get so caught up in the day to day grind.
Wanting to be better and chasing this thing called success, many times we forget to
enjoy the ride. Quality Time Left is the time we have left on this earth. The one thing
that we can never get more of when it’s gone is time. We can replace money, cars, and
houses but at the end of time, life on this earth is over. We would all be better off if when
we woke up every morning we thought about QTL (Quality Time Left). I believe if we
did, we would make more phone calls, visits and be more impactful with the ones we
love. We only have so much QTL.
One thing to do to start practicing this is, pick out 1 really big thing a year you want to
do. Since we started this, we have visited Washington DC and watched the changing of
the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier, priceless! We traveled to L.A. and stood
in a garden at Pepperdine University that overlooked the Pacific Ocean, beautiful. We
have even attended a Chiefs game, awesome! We are headed to Alaska today! Pick 1 big event and make it happen, make memories. Understand your QTL and enjoy! We are all so blessed to live in this great country and have the opportunities we have.
