Article: Retirement Coaching for YOU!
There is an exciting, new way to look at your senior years! At its core is the concept of leading a meaningful life. For many years, I've had people come to me wanting to discover their life's purpose -- wanting to understand why they were alive. They desired the meaning of their lives.
Each of these folks were in their 60s. To a person, they expressed that they were looking at the waning years of their lives. Each had concern about having his/her life matter, to have meaning.
In the past, the idea was common that one's senior years -- those years after one left behind their first professional career -- was a time of "retirement". The concept -- and this word -- often was synonymous with "marking time". Frequently, the "retirement" concept was based on the premise that one's life was over, that productive activity was a thing of the past.
A year ago, I was talking with some friends. We were enjoying a glass of wine and discussing time. We were all in our late 50s and early 60s. We were comparing experiences about age and how we felt -- we agreed that we did not feel old.
We were all very active, physically and mentally. We compared our experience of being 59 and 60 with that experienced by our grandparents. We noted a shared fact: For each of us, our grandparents had seemed to us to act old at 60, both in action and in thought. We speculated that, perhaps, now was a new time -- a time in which we had been raised with different opportunities. We pondered the fact that one of these opportunities was to live longer. We extended this into an agreed-upon fact: We also had the opportunity to live longer, better!
So,
* If It is exciting to you to think of the unlimited possibilities that can be yours during this 30-year
period, Retirement Coaching is for YOU!
* If you would rather not leave the rest of your life to chance, Retirement Coaching is for YOU!
* If it is stimulating to think about what you would like to add into your life plan for that 30-year
duration, then Retirement Coaching is for YOU!
