Meeting Theme, Word of the Day, Definition, and Quotes:
Theme: CHANGE: As it relates to the global events that we’ve “ALL” experienced, to some extent with so many life changing adjustments such as the way we live and conduct our daily lives, travel, how and where we work, how we communicate etc…. ie GDAT meetings in person to virtual like many other clubs. There have been so many changes in the world triggered by Covid. Many of us have experienced life altering changes and perspectives which in some cases affected our relationships with family and our friends near and far. Not one of us really knows the long or short term effects from these experiences-some have adapted better than others. One thing we do need to realize, we need to move forward, learn from our mistakes, and put this behind us.
I’m forever and optimist or try to be. This too shall pass….
QUOTE of the Day: From Eleanor Roosevelt “The past is HISTORY, the future is a MYSTERY, this moment is a GIFT-that’s why it’s called PRESENT”.
WORD of THE DAY: PERPETUAL (Adjective) Definition: A feeling, state, or quality that is one that never ends or changes.
Examples: The deep caves appeared to be in perpetual darkness. Their perpetual money worries.

Meeting Theme, Word of the Day, Definition, and Quotes:
Theme: Mindset
I have come to believe mindset is 75% of the battle in every area of our lives. How we think about problems, solutions, issues we face, and everyday life affects the outcome far more than circumstances and situations we’re in.
Several years ago, I didn’t believe this and would have gotten mad at anyone saying this, but then I started to change my attitude as a challenge from a business coach a friend bought for me.
The right mindset can change your life and the wrong mindset can ruin it.
Word of the day: Abundance
1: an ample quantity : an abundant amount : PROFUSION
2: AFFLUENCE, WEALTH
3: relative degree of plentifulness
Quotes:
“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.”
– Eckhart Tolle
When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.”
– Tony Robbins
“The key to abundance is meeting limited circumstances with unlimited thoughts.”
– Marianne Williamson
