HAPPY NEW YEAR! –
PRESIDENT KAMPALA TOASTMASTERS; LYNDA WERE’S MESSAGE
1st January marks the start of a new calendar
year. At New Years, most of us consider a fresh start by making a resolution to
try something new or change some old habits to improve our life or the lives of
others.
Personally I categorize my resolutions
into Family, Spiritual, Financial, Personal development, health and career. I
must say I achieve at least 70% of what I set out to do. Not an easy feat by
any standards. The 30% failure rate is majorly on the health resolutions. I am
sure each of us is struggling with something they wished would become better.
Aside from wishing, we all have what it takes to change it. The ball is in your
court.
“If you change the way you
look at things, the things you look at change.”― Wayne Dyer
As Toastmasters, our main goal is
to perfect our communication and leadership skills by delivering on the various
projects in our respective manuals but more so transforming the world we live
in with the skills we acquire during our toastmasters Journey.It is such
immense joy and a deep inexpressible feeling to witness your fruits paying off
at work, in church, at home or with the people who matter most in your life. I
wish this for each one of you this year.
My message to each one of you, is to
remain committed to the decision you took to improve yourself and not give up
when impediments come your way or time to commit seems elusive. Reach out to
your mentors or surround yourself with people who seem to be progressing in
various aspects of their lives. My personal reading recommendation for the year
is a book by Steve Covey- 7 habits of highly effective people.
Stay blessed in 2017.
Cheers,
Lynda Nabayiinda Were
President Kampala Toastmasters 2016/17
