Retirement is a time for self-reflection and hopefully a time of self-insight and growth. When it comes to trying to find the answers inside yourself, you have to dig deep into your soul and your mind to find the answers you are looking for. It is a long process and no one will tell you that it is easy, yet you can accomplish much by putting forth the effort.
Retirement is a new phase of life and a new opportunity to change, grow and develop new dreams. Searching for insight will help you to find your dreams as well as to feel motivated enough to make them come true. This is all having a better insight of yourself.
Sometimes it takes some time to become the someone you want to be in retirement but as you grow, you will find that it will be easier for you to handle your lack of responsibilities or new responsibilities. This will help you to be able to define who you are and what you want in life as a newly retired person.
You may have experienced some hard time but you have learned how to overcome. How do you find the right path for you and how do you get on the right path? It will all depend on you and your mind frame on how fast you will progress. It is going to take some time but as you learn to work on it, it will come to you faster than someone who only thinks they want it. In order to become that successfully retired person that you want to be, there is work that you are going to have to do.
Create some goals. It does not matter how long they are or how short they may be. Once they are down on paper, then you are going to have to learn to work at achieving your goals. You could even hang them in the kitchen. This way you can see them and read them each day to keep your mind fresh. When you recently read something, it will soon sink in and this will make it so that you will always be working on your goals. Once you have your goals you will see that the rest will come, natural to you and it will help you to become a very successful retired person.
Hi Royce! I just got a notice of the link back you had here on your site to my blog SMART Living 365 and I wanted to stop in and say hello. While I'm not actually retired yet--more like "semi-retired" I think that we probably share a lot in common as far how to make the remaining years of our life as good as possible. When I hit sixty a couple of years ago it became a much for relevant conversation, right? I love that you offer so many great links (and thanks for mine by the way) and look forward to following along your blog and checking out some of your recommendations. ~Kathy
