My Purpose
Life with purpose & balance - friends & family,wellness, challenging and rewarding work, delicious food, movies that entertain me, exciting sport, inspiring & engaging reading and giving back.
As I transition away from a life of full time, permanent work for compensation which has occupied almost all of my time since 1976 I have decided that I would like to share my plan, my day, my experience and hopefully some wisdom through blogging. So, this is my first post and I have started by sharing my new found purpose. Why? In preparing to move away from my career, I asked a number of people who had previously retired what was especially important in 'succeeding' at life post full time, permanent employment. Consistently, they said "have a plan". A plan to do what exactly I wondered and so I began to reflect and think deeply about what the purpose of my life should become and so you see the product of this process above.
What goes with it is a pretty detailed plan which I am 'working' to fairly successfully so far. It took 5 months to put together and I am sure that it will evolve further over time, but it is great for me right now, which is very calming and satisfying.
Over time and with further posts, I will share some of my plan with you as well as my daily experiences in the hope that this will help you to get the most and best from your life.
For now, thank you for taking your time to read (and comment if you wish), live your life to the fullest and keep well (a key part of my plan).
Andy
