Mixed Emotions
It's a rarely discussed truth, but many people feel a mix of relief and anxiety. It’s the strange limbo of knowing you’ve earned your rest but also feeling uneasy about what comes next.
Leisure Overload
The reality is that while we all crave freedom, we also need a balance of leisure and purpose to feel fulfilled. Without this balance, even activities we once loved can start to feel repetitive and uninspiring.
Invest in Your Relationships Now
Research, including the Harvard Study of Adult Development, shows that the quality of relationships—not wealth, status, or hobbies—has the biggest impact on long-term happiness and health.
Getting Ready for Retirement
Retirement is on the horizon, and while that’s exciting, it can also feel a bit... uncertain. You’ve spent years—decades, really—immersed in your career. Now, as you start winding down, it’s natural to wonder what will replace all the intellectual challenges and sense of purpose that your job gave you.
Retire Defined
The word "retire" has a rich history dating back to the late 16th century.
Be the Main Character
Muriel Spark’s quote is about being the author of your own story. In retirement, this means making deliberate choices that reflect your desires, values, and dreams. It’s about creating a narrative where you are the main character, driving the plot forward with purpose and intention.
The Secret of Change
Change is an inevitable force that shapes our lives in many ways. Whether it's a personal transformation or a societal shift, the way we respond to change determines our ability to adapt and grow. Socrates, the renowned philosopher, once said, "The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." This profound statement holds the key to embracing change and harnessing its potential.
