Question: I will be 50 this month and it seems that everyone expects me to know exactly what the rest of my life will look like. Honestly, I have no clue. Am I the only one?
Answer: No, you are not alone and it’s time to tap into the dynamic conversation and community entitled “Life Reimagined “ by becoming a member of the AARP. I know what you are thinking—I had to get over the same mental hurdle! Trust me on this one: CEO Barry Rand has rebranded the organization to attract people as young as 50 with conventions and online information that are simply outstanding. Where else can you see Whoopi Goldberg interview Jay Leno, or see Soledad O’Brien interview Laura Bush and her daughter Barbara, or meet Captain Phillips? The conference fee is only $25.00. THAT’S REAL VALUE!
Celebrate being 50 by knowing that you are on the path to a fulfilling life. Begin with a solid foundation of good health and financial security, then consider:
- What have you dreamt of achieving/doing and put on the back burner?
- Who do you need to add to your network (or prune from it) so that you are inspired?
- What do you want to accomplish at work?
- What aspect of your work feels like ”work” and what aspect “flows”? Note: Redesign your work to flow.
- Are you known in your community (note—you define community) or do you feel isolated, lost and alone?
- Are you contributing to the social well-being of your community?
- What did you learn today?
- What are you curious about?
