Whether that's by doing something positive in local or international communities, by seeing young people develop thanks to our youth programs or simply by being around other Rotarian colleagues with a great spirit, what's in it for most Rotarians is being able to feel good about participating in Rotary, being able to feel good when they go home from Rotary and being able to feel good when talk about Rotary with others.
We all at times get down or have to deal with the harsh realities of the world. Indeed, right now there will be Rotarians who are doing it hard, whether physically, financially, emotionally or otherwise. Plenty in the community will also be dealing with similar feelings and situations.
For them, as well as for the rest of us, it is important to ensure that we each do our little bit to make our Rotary Clubs welcoming, positive and optimistic places, where possi-bility isn't impeded by negativity or pessimism.
It starts with our attitude as soon as we greet our fellow Rotarians, prospective Rotarians, community partners or the public, particularly if we hold a position of representation. How we project ourselves will influence others' perceptions.
Are we:
- • Warm?
- • Welcoming?
- • Friendly and complimentary to others?
- • Energetic?
- • Enthusiastic?
- • Optimistic?
- • Positive?
- • Inclusive?
- • Engaging?
- • Caring?
