Last week, as I was working through my online “to do” list that I have automatically sent to me via TrackVia, an e-mail popped up that was forwarded to me from my 13-year-old son Kaleb. He wrote:
Dear Dad,
Since you’ve been sending me so many daily thoughts, I thought I’d send you one! We all know that we’re not perfect, and we feel bad about it, but usually we don’t do a lot about it. The key to this is finding a specific problem and fixing it. So, every night, as you reflect upon your day, think of something you did wrong that day (or recently), and try never to make the mistake again. The next night, determine whether you solved the problem. If you did, move on to a new one you can fix. If not, try again the next day. If you follow this pattern every day, you will have a lot more peace in your life.
Love,
Kaleb
My first thought was, Wow, pretty heavy for a 13-year-old! But Kaleb’s a bright kid and certainly mature for his age. My second thought was, Hmmm, maybe he’s right.
So, if you’re one of the customers I’ve reached out to recently as your TrackVia account representative, please feel free to contact me with your TrackVia problems. I promise to work on them — one per day!
