Tomorrow I turn 70. I still have a job, rolled my own, two or three days a week. My little corporation is profitable and provides a reason to get out and be productive. Working some provides pleasure.
I tire of continuous hobby work, recreational pursuits and laying around. My health is good and in some respects better than when stressed as a contractor.
When you survey your life there are talents and abilities that were secondary.One of those can provide the means for making your own new job.
The fallacy in thinking is the rut. One must first have courage and climb out of the rut.
Forget what was...... find something new, different but using part of what was. The concept of “I am a” should be abandoned in place of “I’m becoming a”
We live in a different world where there is no real stigma for an old guy doing something he likes but might be frowned on by those looking over the top of there own miserable rut. You are admired for having the where with all for getting out of your rut
Thank you, Bert, I am going to print out your wisdom and put it on my refrigerator. Thanks again.
