More Second Act

This online resource from Entrepreneur.com continues to offer motivation and inspiration.  Having dreams and goals that require hard work give us a reason to write resolutions and then keep them.  For too long we have looked at the retirement age as the point at which we begin to "sit it out."  I love that country song which features a mom singing the song for her daughter, "When you have the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance."  So read Second Act and then, "Dance."

Second Act: Reinvent Yourself

Lutheran Homes of South Carolina

I never tire of training the ladies who will be instrumental in bringing QuickWitz to the community residents.  This session was particularly enjoyable, as the setting was intimate in that the Directors have worked together and shared life experiences.  While they may not physically see each other daily, I got the clear sense that they are genuinely co-workers, colleagues with a common cause.  And I am certain that the communities they serve feel their warmth daily.
Thanks, ladies.  I had a great time!

Is there a 2nd Act in your future?

As I press on with the development of brain training activities, products and seminars for those at midlife and beyond, I am always interested in stories of boomers and seniors who have entered a new profession, made a discovery of new talent or started a new business.  At 50, my sister became a flight attendant.  My friend, Chuck,  has applied for another patent.  He has several already, but at 70 years of age, he shows no signs of shutting down.
While we know little of what the future holds, we have learned a great deal about the past.  And we have grown wiser for that.  Why not use the wisdom we have attained to brighten everyday and to give ourselves purpose.
I am attaching a link that connects to an online magazine I have so enjoyed.  Click on it and get inspired!

2nd Act

Retirement Reset

Here is an article that draws from history, in that takes a different look at retirement.  Our perception of being "entitled" to retirement colors our thinking.  We are stuck between the proverbial rock and a hardspot.  Living much longer is a great thing, we think.  But will we outlive our money?
