Welcome to Philanthropy Friday!

Have you set your 2023 goals yet?

Let’s be honest. Most of us do not set goals. But according to a Harvard study, the 14% of those who do are ten times more successful than others. And only 3% of people write their goals down.

Having well documented goals is a very powerful habit. My good friend, Tom Hill (you should check him out at https://drtomhill.com/),suggests setting goals in the following six key components of life: spiritual, health & wellness, relational, intellectual, emotional, and financial.

So, have you set your 2023 goals yet? Remember to set your philanthropy / giving goals as a part of the financial component, so you can experience the joy of making a difference. And also very important: Have you instructed your kids about the power of goal setting? Encouraging your children to become goal-setters is a skill that can have a profound impact on the quality of their life forever.

“The great danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.” –Michelangelo
