You start as a kid wanting to be a teenager - get a drivers license, have a prom date, graduate from HighSchool - Maybe go to college and graduate from there. For some - finding thats someone so Marry ?? Or these days S.O. is perhaps more popular.. Get a job or start a career - which ever way you think if it. Make money - no money does not buy everything - however things go much easier with it than without it... now one does not need to be a millionaire - be being financially sound is a good thing. Purchasing a home on the list ?? Advancing in that Career that was mentioned earlier... Is being your own boss a thing ?? Retiring ?? really ? from "gee can I bee a teenage " and have drivers license to it's time to think about retiring ! I know a little bit of info here.... you gotta have a What's next . A Part time job,, A hobby that you can do everyday that makes you happy or at the very least Occupied... How many Re-runs can you watch and can anyone watch that much TV. ??
But you better have a plan or develop one,..... You know - well "I know" folks that never stopped working,.. their career was there retirement - or they could not think of or think of themselves doing something else..... perhaps frightened at the prospect of not having that JOB to fall back on to define themselves and/or don't want to do anything different , cause they think its below them to perform menial talks.
Listen - it's not too late - find that Niche - Volunteer , get a job even of you do not need the Money , It will get ya out of the house , it will let you interact with others, and hell you might even find you like it , even of its something you never thought of doing.... ! If you like to be outdoors then find a job where you can do that, plant flowers in the summer. Want to be inside - only about 1000 jobs that let you do that,,, specially around the holidays and in the summer. I know this .. businesses love to hire folks - my age. You have experience of a life time of employment, Teamwork Communications skills, Interpersonal Skills. If you were any kind of successful at a Career / Job then you are dependable, have a flexible work schedule, you are honest and hard working. I tend to go to Disney World from time to time ... Look at who they hire as Bus drivers, Boat Captains (don't need a Coast Guard License WDW is private waters) Hosts and Hostesses... Retired FOLKS !! Cause of the reasons I just described... Bet those folks show up for work Early , and can stay late... If someone calls in they can - most times - drop what ever they were doing and come in to cover. Plus they are excellent role models for the younger employees ...... What business does not want that !
OK - so think about WHAT's NEXT ,,, get a plan and get going , even if it's uncomfortable at first... Try this - do what ever the heck you come up with for 60 days .... If it ain't working be honest and go try something else !! Now GET GOING !!
Next time I'll be talking HOT STOVE baseball,,,,, and looking forward to Christmas / New Years !!
Enjoy..... here are two Christmas / Holiday songs....
