Are you aware of the importance of having the loving support of your significant other—your spouse, life partner or a friend you’re in the process of developing a deeper relationship with—as you explore your dreams and turn them into goals? This is crucial throughout life, including during the transition to retirement.
As you begin planning the transition to retirement, numerous conversations will be necessary to create a successful, fulfilling and happy lifestyle. Sharing your hopes, dreams and aspirations for this new life stage with your partner is an extremely important aspect of achieving success. Where you will live, what you will spend money on, what kind of activities you will do separately and together and how you will take care of your health are all important topics of the conversation. Within each of these areas there are undoubtedly hopes and dreams that you may not have shared with each other. To illustrate this point, I would like to share this quote:
“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.” Gail Devers
Who believes in you and offers loving support for your goals?
