The Rotary year has flown by. We started the year with a motivational program by Mike Wells, a local attorney, leader, and fellow Rotarian, He has recently started a series of articles and I have taken excerpts of his first article below.

"The early part of the year is often the time when we set New Year's resolutions, or goals, for the year. But our tendency is to set too many goals, and to fail to follow up on the ones we have. So our goals, and our efforts, fall by the wayside. The most damaging impact of all of this is we lose confidence in the value of setting goals. But most personal growth experts will tell you that setting goals and working towards them is the single most important factor in determining our success at whatever we try.

Vince Lombardi, one of the most successful professional coaches in any sport and in any time, said: "Everyone has the will to win. The question is do we have the will to do the things it takes to win?" You don't have to be a professional football coach to be committed to making your life better and aspiring to a high level of excellence in anything you do.

If you want success in your business, or in other parts of your life, determine what you know are the factors that hold the best chance of getting the result you want. Set a deadline, probably at least weekly, to measure your progress. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish.

So, New Year's Resolution number one is: set a goal, set a time line, and get a plan. There is a champion inside of you waiting to come out!" I say it over and over, but, you know what: Kernersville Rotary is digging it out! Kernersville Rotary is extraordinary achievers!
