Key Takeaways:

• Unearthing a Meaningful Existence in Retirement

By resonating with activities derived from personal beliefs and values, retirees can create a meaningful existence in this new phase of life, moving beyond pure recreation to make a difference in the community or even the world.

• Navigating the Transition to Retirement with Fulfillment

Indeed, navigating retirement might be challenging. However, by reframing it as a transition and not an end, retirees can avoid typical issues such as boredom and feeling unfulfilled.

• Crafting a Unique Identity in Retirement

Transitioning from work to retirement can lead to a loss of identity, especially when one's self-worth is deeply intertwined with a work-based persona.

“Becoming is a process of committing your time and effort to activities that express who you are so that over time, you become the person you want to be."
