Happy New Year everyone! I love the number 22. It has been my favorite number my whole life! Maybe cause my friend growing up Nesby Glasgow’s dad who played safety for the Seahawks was number 22. My wife was born on the 22nd of March, or because it is just a cool number.
This is a new year, which means keeps we have the opportunity to keep moving forward. What does that mean for each of us?
John Lennon says it best “Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.”
One thing that I learned in the last couple years is that we all have different challenges, different opportunities, and different unpredictability in which we need to learn to adapt.
Alan Alda who is known for his role as Hawkeye in the movie and television show MASH says the secret of a successful life is: “Adapt. Adjust. Revise.”
In Rotary, we have members who cannot make every meeting, but they are contributing to the community in other ways. That’s a way to adapt. We have members who cannot do physical labor but find ways to give the Rotary resources to succeed. We have members who are figuring out to do online meetings because we are limiting our meetings in person due to the recent spike.
Martin Luther King said: “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have TO KEEP MOVING FOREWARD.”
This New Year lets keep moving forward, and make 2022, a year to progress personally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
