A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life.

To this day, I believe we are here on Earth to live, grow, and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.

The meeting was held on Google Meet at 7.15 am with 5 members present, and guest Erika Ablett.

Music: none

• Program
• TED talk on procrastination from Ted Urban
• .When we procrastinate, the Instant Gratification Monkey takes over from our Rational Decision Maker. The monkey wants things to be easy and fun. The rational Decision maker wants things that make sense. Sometimes these overlap. The panic monster wakes up when deadlines are urgent. This is the only thing the monkey is afraid of. If there is no deadline, there is no panic monster, so you have to have reasons for doing non-urgent things.
• Discussion followed.
• Business
• District Governor David is scheduled to visit on Friday, October 17th. We will meet at a restaurant in Trail at 8am. in the morning.
• October 4th is our food drive at Liberty Foods benefiting the Beaver Valley Food Bank.
• No meeting on October 3rd in lieu of the food drive.
• Suggested we have a social at the Harlamovs’ house after the food drive.
