The "If Only" Disease

Good Morning,

I’m sending you this note today because I often think, “if only” I could stay in touch with all the people I know. I sure would like to be in touch instead of making excuses like, there’s not enough time, or what could I say that you’d be interested in anyway…

I just heard a piece of advice that I’m putting into practice right now and passing along to you, in case it helps you, too. “Don’t catch the “IF ONLY” disease,” is a warning from James Malinchak. It was an important reminder for me to quit making excuses – if only I could do this…if only I had time for that… Excuses are like a disease and, yes, they’re contagious - one excuse leads to another.

So that’s it, no more “if only” excuses will keep me from saying “hi” to you. Starting with this little email, I’m going to stay in touch on a regular basis. I hope you don’t mind. I hope you’ll be happy to hear from me. Maybe today I’ve even jogged your memory about something you’d like to do “if only…” At least I hope you don’t think, “if only she would stop emailing me!”

Have a Sunny Day,

Clarity

P.S. “Sometimes you just have to take the leap, and build your wings on the way down,” Kobi Yamada. That's what I was thinking when I took the leap from Washington to Michigan in 2001 without knowing what lay ahead. Not surprisingly, it's the people I met here who helped make Michigan a great place to land, and it's the people I left behind who make Washington a great place to visit. Thank you!
