Happy 2018!
As we welcome the new year, many people consider making a resolution. Resolutions are a tradition, common in the Western Hemisphere but also found in many countries around the globe, where a person resolves to change an undesired trait or behavior, to accomplish a personal goal, or otherwise improve their life.
The Fairfax Lions Club in its monthly newsletter suggests resolutions for consideration by all. Here are a few from calendar year 2017:
- I resolve to participate in at least one Lion’s service activity each month this year.
- I resolve to promote the theory and practice of the principles of good government and good citizenship.
- I resolve to take an active interest in the civic, social and moral welfare of the community.
- I resolve to help unite Club members in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship, and mutual understanding.
- I resolve to provide a forum for the full and free discussion of all matters of public interest–partisan politics and sectarian religion alone excepted.
- I resolve to show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.
Our January 2018 resolution: “I resolve: when a doubt arises as to the right, or ethics, of my action towards another, to resolve such doubt against myself.”
Have you made a resolution for 2018?
