So you think you have come to the end of your life and there is nothing else to be said or done? Maybe you believe that your family and friends have written you off and that they are waiting for you to pass away, quietly, and without any fuss. But as I have pointed out before, several times, retirement is your time to shine! Your time to be someone different from your previous self. It’s time for your blaze of glory!
The critical word here is potential. We all have the potential to behave differently at any time of life, but especially in retirement. You have potential right up to the end. To behave differently: to try new things, to learn new things, to create new things. Of course it is your choice to do what you did before, or not. You can stay in your ‘comfort zone’ where everything is predictable, safe, undemanding, or you could venture outside the long established walls of your routine existence and try something new. It’s up to you.
Look at your life now as the time of opportunity rather than the routine performance of well-worn habits. There are a myriad of opportunities out there for you: to do, to think, to learn, to create, to explore,. Remember what it was like to be a teenager with all of life ahead of you! And there are thousands of others, like you, waiting to,be inspired. You could be the catalyst for a whole new attitude to retirement.
