Many of our friends have achieved success in their careers or businesses. They are now able to look beyond paying college tuition and the mortgage. Having worked so hard for many years, they are asking themselves questions like--- “How can I make a real impact during life after 50? How can I use my time, talent and treasure to make a real difference?"
This week afforded me the opportunity to work directly with a friend who lost a child to chemical abuse at age 31. We were trying to identify a nonprofit that had a successful record in serving addicts. We found one that takes a holistic approach, and boasts a success rate above 80%. Tonight, we will seek permission from the memorial fund’s board to fund 1-3 clients in this program. The mission statement that we have developed is: “Save a life of a young person today … for a better tomorrow.” For my friend, this is moving from success to significance. What do you want to do of significance in your life?
