In this motivational monologue, the speaker introduces the concept of QTR (Quality Time Remaining), originally coined by Steve Hardison. The speaker explains a simple way to estimate one’s QTR by approximating a total lifespan (e.g., 88–94 years) and converting the remaining years into days. The emphasis, however, is not on the number of days left but on the quality of how that time is spent. The speaker urges listeners to use the QTR mindset whenever they feel overwhelmed, scared, or hesitant about pursuing their dreams, prompting them to ask, “Is this how I want to spend my QTR?” The talk culminates with a personal mantra—“rise, rewrite, and reignite”—encouraging listeners to actively create the person they want to be, dive deep into each moment, and make every second count with love for themselves and others.

Chapters

Have you guys heard of QTR? Quality time remaining. What a powerful driver. It's actually mind-blowing. It's from Steve Hardison. You can calculate your QTR by guesstimating how many years you have left to live. Okay, so you can calculate it based on living till you're 88 or 94. It doesn't really matter. You just calculate how many days that represents. But be careful now. QTR is not about the days you have left, but the quality of our time and how we choose to spend it. Brilliant, right? So next time you feel overwhelmed, scared, not wanting to make a move or not wanting to follow your dream, ask yourself, is this how I want to spend my QTR? This will help you change your state and focus on living every moment with love towards yourself and others. And you can choose to live with passion and purpose and just follow your dreams, right? Remember my mantra: rise, rewrite, and reignite. So create who you want to be in this moment. Dive deep. Make each second count.
