Retirement

During a conversation with Mike earlier, he mentioned his brother recently retired. Another friend of mine, C.W. retired in July also. Both are about ten years older than myself. My dad retired from the Army before he was 40. At 48, I’m not even close to thinking about retiring.

There’s so much more I’ve yet to accomplish. Things that have to be completed, either by myself or by me enabling those capable of fulfilling those tasks. So for the next decade or so, I’ll work on building my legacy of service. I’ll work towards wealth creation, generation, and eventually transference.

The process will be accelerated with the expertise of others, but I’m responsible for inception. I’m happy those guys are to walk into their retirement years cheerfully, but for me, I’ve got much more to accomplish.

Today, Friday, July 23, 2020, I am grateful that:

I’ve got more to finish. I’m not looking towards a finish line with work since there’s so much more work I’ve yet to complete. That’s an invigorating feeling today.

I’m well aware of the differences between “involved” and “committed.” One is casual, the other intense. One is passive while the other aggressive. One, a light breeze, the other, a vortex.

I committed to my purpose. Life will offer many occasions, circumstances, and situations seemingly important enough to distract, yet I’ll remain firmly on my path.

Do you have more that needs to be done?

How will you work towards completing those tasks?

What one thing can you do today that’ll assist?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
