Better Half Living
As a result of this phenomenal ride through the global story, one thing – if not the only thing – that is certain is that the second half of our lives will not be the same as the second half of the lives lived before us.
As a result of this phenomenal ride through the global story, one thing – if not the only thing – that is certain is that the second half of our lives will not be the same as the second half of the lives lived before us.
There’s something that seems irreverent, or even ridiculous, about the model of retirement that we have been taught by generations before us. “Stopping” or even “slowing down” seems a waste – boring even. We feel fine – and actually are spending a lot of time on feeling finer. We have unfulfilled itches, incomplete aspirations, things we skipped over... things we’d like to do over.
So it’s an interesting juxtaposition. Without the first half there wouldn’t be a second half – yet the part of the contest that seems to really matter most – the second half – will be how we define the game.
Let’s celebrate BetterHalf Living.
