District Governor Nathanael’s Message – August 2025
All In
July was packed full of excitement. It was my first time experiencing the International Convention which was held in Orlando, Florida. My wife Tatum and I had fun celebrating with TN Lions in the LCI parade and meeting Lions from all across the world. We heard from keynote speaker Olympic Medalist Michael Phelps on the importance of mental health and witnessed AP Singh become the new LCI President .
On July 19th we held our first organizational meeting of the year outlining our plans to serve focusing on the importance of communication, collaboration, and service.
I am excited for this Lions year and the direction we are headed!
LCICON take-aways:
- Focus on the small details – Greatness is stacking the small things on top of each other and doing it over and over again
- Pressure can be both internal as much as external
- There are days when you don’t want to get up and get better- on those days you have to get 5% better
- Its okay not to be okay
- There is no shame in talking to someone
- Pause the future trip in our mind – focus on the present moment
- Time is finite – commit every second to purpose
In Service, Nathanael Hughes, District Governor
