A couple of weeks ago, Randy Gayle, Nick & I attended the MAIA Small Agents Conference where we had the privilege of hearing Dan Meers as our keynote speaker. That name may not mean anything to most of you, but some of you know that Dan Meers spends most of his life going by another name...KC Wolf, the mascot for the Kansas City Chiefs,. Dan told the story of becoming KC Wolf, and of the work-related injury that almost cost him not only his career, but his life. More importantly, he reminded us of how every moment in our life is like a coin, we can spend it any way we want...but we can only spend it once.

It's not uncommon to hear messages reminding us to spend our time wisely, and you only live once, and make time for what's most important to you but I honestly don't think we can ever be reminded enough. Seems like maybe I need the constant reminder to make time for what's most important.

So how are you spending your coin? Are you spending it by building relationships with family & friends? Are you spending it working too many hours, or continuing to work even after you've clocked out for the day? Are you spending it advocating for something you're passionate about? Are you spending it raising children or grandchildren into not just good kids, but kind & respectful humans? Or are you spending it scrolling through social media, or whatever other app is consuming your mind on your phone?

It's easy to get sucked in to any one of those things, and while they certainly aren't all bad...they might not all be the BEST way to spend your coin. And so, in the words of KC Wolf, look at your coins...and make sure you're spending them wisely.
