Wise Quotes

On Gratitude

“When we are in a state of gratitude, fear is obliterated, right? They are polar opposites. The fear cannot exist while you’re in a state of gratitude.  I always say you have your own passions, purpose, and growth path in retirement. Your spouse has theirs, and then you have your couple’s activities together, right? And so sometimes things get intermingled and very challenging. And we feel that we don’t have control over our spousal dynamic, right? Because we have ours, they have theirs, and then, but we’re sharing life together. And so I highly recommend Gratitude Journaling , but gratitude, gratitude journaling about your spouse specifically, because that really changes the dynamic. And you really end up focusing on, you know, the wonderful aspects about them, and it really obliterates the annoyances while you’re in that state. So if we like literally put in our reps and practice that, it changes the dynamic in addition to you doing your own work on your own growth path. That just makes it more seamless I have found.”

On Retirement

“Retirement is not the end—it’s the beginning of a new growth journey.”

On Energy

“What energizes you are your authentic wants; what drains you are the external ‘shoulds.’”

On Identity

“You may leave the workforce, but your uniqueness has never left you.”
