SO YOU'RE RETIRED! ARE YOU BUSY BEING BORN OR BUSY DYING?


 RETIREMENT
Is Really A Fork in the Road Demanding a Decision





Are you one of those people who was led to believe that "retirement" is supposed to be some kind of permanent vacation? 

Were you led to believe that "retirement" is about pampering yourself, and being pampered by others, for the rest of your life? 


Have you become one of those people who believe that because you are "retired" you have earned the right to be selfish and stingy? 

Were you led to believe that you have done your duty and now you "don't have to do anything any more for anybody?" 


IF SO, GET OVER IT BEFORE IT KILLS YOU! 


THIS IS THE LIE YOU'VE BEEN TOLD!









THIS IS THE TRUTH YOU NEED TO HEAR! 




Don't just sit around and rot! 

Retirement is actually an opportunity to reinvent yourself and an opportunity to build another new, and maybe an even more interesting, life! 

"If you are not busy being born, you're busy dying!" 
Bob Dylan



THIS IS THE CHALLENGE YOU NEED TO EMBRACE!




If you would like to learn more about my CATHOLIC SECOND WIND GUILD for retired lay people, retired priests and retired bishops, keep following this blog regularly. 

New opportunities to get involved in an interesting part of the world will be offered on a regular basis. Come sit at the table with other retired lay people, priests and bishops, offering your time, expertise, resources and connections to people who could really use it. You now have time to be a missionary so step up to the table and have a seat! Let's see what we can do together to make a difference, not only in the lives of others, but in own lives as well. 

Get a part-time job just to be able to give it away! 
It's fun to have your own charity fund and be able to make grants to various causes.
