That's important. If you can't define that, you're going to waste some valuable years. Our later years we can do so much and achieve so much and enjoy life so much. Look for things that you enjoy doing. Look for the things that affect you emotionally and define that purpose. Look for it and find it. What do you want to achieve?  What can you do to make the world a better place? And do it. If you can get paid for it, that's great. If you do it as a volunteer, that's great too." On Challenge "We need to challenge ourselves on a regular basis. Let's not be complacent with our lives. There's so much out there, so much a life we have to live. And the more we challenge ourselves, those mountains we climb, not Everest, but the other mountains we have in front of us that we can climb, that make us stronger. Tthat makes us enjoy the victories and helps us enjoy the victories. We've got to pursue those things. That's my philosophy." On Working in Later Life "Just because we're aging doesn't mean we can't do different jobs. Today, we age a whole lot stronger. I started to say slower, but our mental capacity is stronger. I think for the most part, we're smarter. I think we're stronger physically, or we can be, and we should be. We're living longer, obviously, so let's give us a chance to be productive as we age. Help that employer...be willing to take a chance on that older guy." ____________________________ About Retirement Wisdom I help people who are retiring, but aren’t quite done yet, discover what’s next and build their custom version of their next life. A meaningful retirement doesn’t just happen by accident.
