How do we make everyday meaningful and memorable? For me, QTR is a filter that I endeavor to live by. In the morning, while I am drinking my coffee, I ask myself What is going to be my QTR moment today? Hopefully I am watching the sunrise, which would already be a QTR moment. But I review my day, and who I am going to be meeting with today. It could be a client meeting, a lunch appointment with a colleague or a friend, or somebody’s birthday. As I think ahead, I plan on what I can say to those people who I care about, and how my words might be impactful for them. How can I make an impact on everyone that I interact with today?
I endeavor to speak about their virtues and what they mean to me. I endeavor to acknowledge them for who they are to me. And, if they are a client, I endeavor to provide some advice based on the skills I have accumulated over the years that is impactful. Small comments can make big differences.
My license plate on my 2001 Toyota Sienna minivan says QTR. This is just another place that reminds me to live QTR every day. It reminds me to make today a QTR day, not just the amazing days that are special due to travel or something else special. Every day we have with family and friends is special. Don’t wait until later.
