To retire or not to retire?  That is the question.  The answer may surprise you…

“I can’t wait until I retire,” was the words he said out of anger and frustration.  “Just six more years to go and I’m out-of-here,” was her comment after the heated argument with her co-worker.

Yes, for many people retirement is the ultimate goal and the thought of one day making it to that point makes the stress, strains, frustrations and pains of the day much more bearable for some.

I invite you to consider the following food-4-thought today as you’re headed on your way.  The very nature of what I do has afforded me the opportunity to look at retirement from an entirely different perspective.  It seems to me that the word “retirement” is most often used by those who’re not working in their area of passion and purpose.  True passion and purpose should have only one exit strategy and that’s death.  Yes my friends, we don’t stop until we stop breathing.

Now don’t kill the messenger just yet, for I truly believe that it’s perfectly okay to retire from your job, but we should never ever consider the thought of retiring from the activities involved with our passion and purpose in this life.  Those who’re working in their area of passion and purpose never retire.  They just transition from one area and arena of service to another.

So, I encourage you today to never tire of giving of your talents for the sake of others.  Never cease in leveraging your gifts for the betterment of your neighbors.  Never give up on the hope that your actions today will change someone’s life for the better tomorrow.  This is indeed a breadcrumb of wisdom that can afford you the ability to make this life GREAT!  So Make it GREAT!!!
