What happens when you pair one of your bold, audacious goals with living like you mean it?

Received the call from the Fidelity Benefits Coordinator that retirement is officially official. While Disney had processed the separation two weeks ago, it also had to upload into Fidelity’s system. That happened today.

A surreal feeling that helps make this life event feel more real. Really real you might say. Burn the ships real.

When a spouse retires this creates what’s called a life event. A life event qualifies as significant enough to allow for modifying health care coverage to include a retired spouse.

Dear Son, what looks like luck, privilege, or ease is massively anything but. So glad you know this without a shadow of a doubt.

The constant ticking of the clock. Metaphorically and in reality.

People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it. – Edith Schaeffer

Do our Veterans deserve more than one day of acknowledgment? Yesterday was Veteran’s Day, as well as day two of retirement week two. Facebook gets flooded with gratitude and heart-felt sentiments for those who protected and are protecting our (the World’s) Freedom.

Most people are consciously thinking about our Veterans all day everyday. Right?

Attitude scales. Attitude is what we think and do without thinking.

Habits. Deep, unalterable habits.

Positive thoughts or negative thoughts.

Our mind habitually leans to one side or the other.

This is the most important revelation to mid lifers because it proves that attitude is a habit.

Habits, like smoking, can be incredibly strong and hard to break.

Habits, like not swearing, can be incredibly strong and easy to break.

The way to stay positive is reliant on four things

Orlando Keynote speakers

Whether we are retired or not, the way to stay positive is reliant on four things:

  1. The things (books, blogs, articles) we read
  2. The people we associate with
  3. The things we write (social media comments, blogs, emails)
  4. The things we watch and listen to (tv, music, internet)

Pretty simple. These things are in our control.

Be intentional or be subconsciously miserable.
