Stay Happy and Healthy in Retirement-Discover Your Purpose

Hi Folks,

Having a purpose in life is essential for a happy, healthy retirement!!! No questions, no arguments, no debate. It is just a simple,  irrefutable fact.

But a sad fact is that many people live their entire lives and never discover the importance of having a purpose or never finding one.

How to Avoid a Failed Retirement

Hi Folks,

In our younger years we knew that if we failed in our career or business choices we had the time to bounce back and start over. And many of us did - we picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves off and started all over again. But now that we are in our senior years – we simply don’t have the time and stamina to recognize our mistakes and make a new start . . . well, at least not a completely new start.

This is probably nothing new, mind you, just a new awareness on my part.

I am seeing retirees age way beyond their years in just a few months. And for no obvious reason.

SENIOR LIVING: An Extraordinary Retirement

 Hi Folks,

Today’s article is directed primarily at pre retirees, encouraging them to prepare for an extraordinary retirement. But this message is just as important (and maybe more so) for seniors that have already retired.

So many of us enter retirement having no idea how we are going to use our time. I can tell you that the retirees I know who are involved in useful, worthwhile pursuits are a far happier lot than the ones that generally just twiddle their time away.

Getting The Most Out Of Your Retirement

Hi Folks,

Now that you have retired what are you going to do with the rest of your life?

I am a member of the group that believes that everyone has a purpose in life and that our purpose doesn’t end when we retire. In fact our retirement may be the time when our purpose really kicks in. 

Is it time to examine your retirement life and your purpose in life. It may be time to start work on your legacy.
