“20 years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the things that you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.” – Mark Twain.
To make sure your list of things you didn’t do is short, set goals for yourself in each of the following life areas of your retirement lifestyle portfolio:
• Career/Work
• Health and Wellness
• Finances
• Family Relationships/Friendships
• Leisure and Social
• Personal/Spiritual Development
Having goals and purpose will also give meaning to your retirement years and make you happier, more hopeful, and more satisfied with life.
Make sure your goals are SMART:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Realistic
• Time-sensitive
Because you, as a baby boomer, are used to achieving great things, also make your goals
• Challenging
• Consistent with your values
• Contributing to your legacy
• Meaningful
• Part of your passion
• Self-motivating
So go ahead and set some goals within each life arena and in that process, make the best of your life for the rest of your life!
