Kenny Chapman shares how his family saved two hours at Arches National Park by taking a shorter entry line, then uses that moment to argue you can literally add time to your life by delegating, saying no to time wasters, and prioritizing what matters.
What if I told you the fountain of youth does exist? Here's the deal. It does, my friend. You can literally add time to your life. And here's why. And here's how. Stay with me just a moment. Yesterday I was vacationing with my amazing in laws, hanging out in Canyonlands and what we were around Moab and Arches national park and all these amazing things, right? So here's the deal. Summertime, Arches, you're going to wait in line and a lot of times, depending on what time you arrive there, you're going to wait in line two hours tops, whatever, right? So we got a minivan packed with the family. We get out of town a little later than we planned. We get there a little later than we planned. So we know we're going to wait in line two hours, right? Stick with me, I'm going to show you how to add time to your life. So we come around the corner, we're on the 191, we come around the corner and here's where they all line up, usually multiple rows of cars, all the way back down, sometimes all the way out onto the highway. And people wait and wait. We come around the corner, what do we see? Holy smokes. It's a short line, maybe 10 minutes. OK, everybody celebrating, high fiving, all excited, what does that mean? Now we have two hours where we thought we were going to sit in line, sit in the van, sit in the car, right? So as we're rolling through, my 71 year old amazing father in law full of wisdom says we just literally added two hours to our lives. And I went, you know, think about that. So when you think about adding time, we think about of course taking care of yourself and adding time and days. What about adding time and value? What about adding time in what you're doing, right? What about that kind of adding time every time you delegate something, every time you say no to the time suckers, to the energy wasters, to the different things like that. Every time you do that, you add time. You can literally add time to your life. That's what it's all about. I want you to thrive, I don't want you to survive, I want you to thrive. And to do that you've got to continue to, to make the most out of everything, to continue to crush, to continue to challenge yourself. And that takes time. Guess what? We've all got the same amount. But my father in law, Chuck, just taught you something. Add some time to your life. Cheers.
