In 1881, Otto von Bismarck, the conservative minister-president of Prussia, presented a radical idea to the Reichstag: government-run financial support for older members of society. In other words, retirement.
It took eight years, but by the end of the decade, the German government created a retirement system, which provided for living citizens over the age of 70.
Since then, the idea that one only works until they reach a qualified age was set in the conscious of our culture.
Corporations, investment companies, insurance programs; all of these are built on the premise that one lives, works, retires, dies.
BUT WHAT IF…?
What if one could live many years being productive and doing what they were born to do?
What if it was possible to do what you loved, love what you do, and keep doing it until you couldn’t do it anymore?
What if doing that could bring joy, change lives, and leave a legacy that will outlive you?
It is possible, and I have seen it!
