My
friend's parents recently retired and are having a hard time
adjusting, especially her dad. I don't really understand this. I
would retire tomorrow if I could. But I have heard this so many
times, retirement happens and that person doesn't know what to do
with themselves. I wouldn't have that issue. I have so much I want to
do!
When
I told this to my friend she responded, “Well of course you'd have
no problem retiring, you have found purpose outside of work." And I
realized she's right. I have finally found a purpose, well somewhat
of a purpose anyways. My writing, my projects bring some purpose.
That was a pretty amazing realization since I have struggled for so
long with the concept of purpose. My purpose, namely my purpose in
life. I have found some purpose writing this blog.
If
I didn't have to work full-time for some else to make a living, I
still wouldn't live an idle life. My days would be filled with
creating. So many people identify themselves by what they do. So many say "My work
is my life." I guess I am trying to be able to say my life is my work.
I love the last line of this post :)
