How will you Be the Inspiration in 2018-2019? Will you serve as a STRIVE mentor? Or perhaps, organize a team in your community to support eliminating human trafficking in Minnesota? Or maybe, write a grant to provide clean water to people you’ve never met in a third world country? I invite you to reflect on your unexpressed passion to decide how you can express it!
As Rotarians, we each have a platform to Be the Inspiration -- not only in our Rotary world but also in our personal and professional circles. Imagine the inspiration you are as you share with non-Rotarian friends and colleagues:
- The STRIVE student beaming when you help him create a plan for his future
- Or the gratitude expressed by a young woman who felt hopeless and was on the verge of being trafficked?
- And for some, it was hearing a mother in Haiti declare, “You drilled the well and the children stopped dying.”
What is the passion that you share with others because you are inspired? How will you inspire others to engage with you?Presidents-Elect, how will you Be the Inspiration to your club? What legacy do you want to leave? Open conversation with your club and board members to set goals for 2018-19. You have an amazing opportunity to make an impact.
Joining 538 District Governors-Elect from around the globe at GETS, it was impossible not to be inspired. Thank you, District 5950 Rotarian friends for inspiring me and selecting me as your upcoming District Governor. It is an honor, a privilege, and a humbling challenge.
Let’s all Be the Inspiration!
