Life is a consequence of the times we live in. Life is the real thing. Many people spend their life worrying about everything. Even the smallest obstacle is branded as a problem. If problems can be solved, why worry? If problems cannot be solved, then worrying will do no good. If you consider your life as a blessing enjoy it and do what interests you, at least one person will be happy.
Have a Guru (teacher) in your life. A good coach can change a game. A great Guru can change a life. In this life, Rotary has become a guru to many of us in more ways than one. It has taught us, guided us and helped us to do good to others even when you know that they cannot return your kindness except to say, “Thank you,” from some corner of the world. Rotary has enriched our life by making us realise that even the smallest act of caring for others is like a drop of water – it can make ripples throughout the entire pond.
In this life, Rotary has shown us that it is much more than a movement that has given a space for us to gather and share some fun-filled moments. It has given us an opportunity to heal the wounds of people, create jobs, develop economic activities, eradicate diseases, hunger, illiteracy and more importantly sow the seeds of love and peace in the community. Rotary has shown that for our projects to be successful, the activity must not be just for the community, it must be built in partnership with the community. That is why day after day, life has to be a constant process of learning and Rotary gives us the opportunity to hear from people about their hopes for a better life and what they expect from Rotarians.
One of the secrets of fruitful living is to understand that life is the most beautiful and gratuitous gift. We have to work hand-in-hand with our neighbours to ensure that our life goes on without much hiccups. We must use Rotary as an economic engine to bring hope to thousands of people during these trying times. This will make your life beautiful.
If you are looking for a source of inspiration lately, for a reason to be optimistic about the direction in which your life should move forward, look within yourself. Spend time today, tomorrow and every day visualizing good life for millions of people in this planet. You will be inspired and this is the promise of nature. This will make your life beautiful.
You will wake up every morning with a happy thought of life and will be motivated to engage with your community. You will see a recurring tension between your own ambitions and your duties to your family and society around you. But, it is a tension that anyone working for the welfare of the community and change needed knows very well. This is the beauty of life.
