In the Rotary world, January is dedicated to vocational service. Do you reflect on the new year and/or set resolutions? I set an intention!
My personal experience shows that while resolutions can be valuable, their importance seems to wane within a few weeks. (Of course, as a “resolutioner” I must take responsibility for my own waning; my focus is scattered!)
For the last several years I’ve shifted to setting an intention that remains front and center (most of the time!). My 2018 intention was “growth” -- of the personal nature, not the body type. WOW, how I have experienced that in my role as DG! You have given me an amazing sandbox to practice my “growth” intention in 2018. I thank each of you for that gift.Setting a New Year’s intention provides a backdrop for how we operate. It requires introspection, self-awareness and reflection. The process of setting the intention leads to choices: What do I want to change, improve or enhance? What will serve me best in the coming year and lead to living my purpose? How do I want to feel at the end of the year?
I offer this option for 2019 in the spirit of sharing MY vocational service because, as a leadership coach, my work supports clients setting intentions. I invite each reader to share something about your vocational service on our District 5950 Facebook page. (Extra credit if you use a People of Action template with a link, picture or short video.)
Make 2019 a year to share your vocation…intentionally!
