Rotary Club of Palgrave’s Weekly Rotary Minute

Sometimes when looking for an idea, you find much more.
While researching topics to present at our Club for my weekly Rotary Minute, I came across a powerful inspirational video produced by Rotary International Clubs in Great Britain and Ireland. It is musical in nature with video images coinciding with tag lines.
I invite you to feel what each means to you:
You are in a good place. Think about it. Every day, you make a difference. You hit the targets, and sometimes they hit you. You put in the hours, yet you still make time for what’s important. You do the hard yards.
You take responsibility — for the successes and, sometimes, for the failures.
You weather the storms, and enjoy the time in the sun.
So think about it.
You may not realize it, but your skills are invaluable. And, now?
Now it’s time to put them to good use, to give something back. To get into a new business, the business of making a difference. The business of improving lives, the lives of those who didn’t get your opportunities. The business of saving lives, and making lives worthwhile and fulfilled. The business of caring, and sharing your experience. Of restoring pride, and rediscovering dignity.
Imagine the difference your time could make. That your skills could bring to bear. Imagine a simple “thank you” was your reward. Imagine a smile was your return on investment. Imagine what a difference you could make.
