The most fulfilling part of your career starts at 65
After the clock
What if the most fulfilling part of your career happens after you retire?
Itβs a question that quietly worries many people on the verge of retirement: βWhat will I do with all that time?β The usual answer involves volunteering or hobbies, which are great. But thereβs another path.
I saw it in my old neighbor, a retired architect. He was in the lobby last week, completely absorbed in sketching a bookshelf design for a new local business. His eyes were alive staring at the screen drawing on his laptop.
You see, in that one small project, he was getting all the things that make work meaningful. He was keeping his mind sharp by solving a fun, creative problem. He was connecting with new people, and that look on his face? It was pure purpose.
This is the secret. Continuing to use your skills on your own terms. Provides that mental stimulation and social connection we all crave. It offers a profound sense of fulfillment. And yes, it can even provide a little extra income to make life more flexible.
