Last Week
As President Ann is having a well-deserved break with her family in Cape Town Costa stepped in and led the meeting on her behalf.
David Bradshaw has been ensuring that we have a line-up of excellent speakers and on Friday we were very privileged to have the well-known International Mindset Coach and Corporate Speaker Lee Roebeck address us.
His aim is to inspire and motivate.
His question to us: Why is it important to have goals?
The simple answer: Much like the captain of a ship we need to know where we a heading.
There are three types of goals:
The A type Goal - This is a goal that you know you can do, and there is not really much growth attached to it.
The B-type Goal - is a goal you think you will be able to achieve, based on logic and self-knowledge
The C-type Goal - is where you have to really THINK BIG! It is something that you really wish to achieve and where you really have to stretch yourself.
Juanette gave us a wonderful example how it had applied to her life when she set herself the goal of completing a full triathlon and with a lot of blood, sweat and tears eventually crossed the finishing line.
She is now close to achieving her second life goal of returning to university and completing a Bachelor of Social Sciences degree.
Lee shared a harrowing experience with us of being hijacked one Sunday afternoon when he was bundled into the boot of his car by three gun-wielding criminals and how his Mindset helped him deal with this traumatic situation.
This experience shifted Lee's perspective.
1) It is what it is - accept it.
It will either control you, or you can control it.
2) Harvest the Good.
There is good in everything. Seek and you will find it. Every adversity brings the seed of something good.
3) Forgive the rest.
Let it go completely, abandon and release it.
Lee invited anyone that would like to change their story to contact him:
Rotary - People of Action
In May Jean and Jerry, the Stonestreets, Lyn Collocott, Lenore,Juanette and Ann packed hundreds of food parcels to be donated to the needy.
35 of these parcels went to the Gracepoint Church.
