Good afternoon Rotarians & Guests

Using an unknown path towards resolution

Recent times have shown a shift in global political power, Israel ceasefire, and also most welcome to our Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Nicholas.

There are times we are faced with the need to arrive at a resolution given an unknown or new path.

The process while not easy is transformative; but rather growth fulfilling. It is a canvas where we can create our own meaning of discovery.

During this dilemma, it is thought provoking, if we just remain status quo, do nothing and let time resolve the situation.

However, we discover that it is in these moments of growth even at our ripe age, that we discover something remarkable, the strength to push through unshaken in face of this “unknown” life’s uncertainties. Every step maybe a trial, but it is a canvas – a space where we can create our own meaning.

We find that our worth is not defined by who stays or goes but by the courage we display in delving into the unknown – a clear  testament to our capacity towards transformation. 

Trevor Nink, on behalf of Ruth Carlos-Martinez
