Alerting the people around you to your goals has many positive benefits:
* Someone else now holds the idea of you doing this thing in their mind, in addition to you.
* They are likely to ask you about it, which gives you an opportunity to talk about your goal.
* It creates the opportunity for them to inform you about resources they know about and offer other forms of support.
* It activates the psychological principle of consistency.
Postage stamps with a custom picture on them are a great way to activate all of these benefits, especially at a time of year when many of us correspond with people we care about, and who care about us.
