First Year of 2nd Half of my Life

June 27, 2010

I have gone through the normal stages of life: being a child, being a parent and developing my career. Now, at 65 years old, I started slowing down for old age.

But about two months ago, I had an epiphany! I am not ready for old age; this is the first year of the second half of my life. I know a lot more now than I did the first year of the first half of my life. The more I thought about this, the happier and more energized I became.

First, as a child, I learned. Second, as a parent, I prepared the next generation. Third, as a career person, I contributed to the general good of society. Fourth, I am ready to help develop others so they can reach their maximum potential.

I see myself as fully active, helping others through speaking and coaching, and enjoying life as I pass the century mark. I see myself still riding a motorcycle and flying my private airplane. Why not? Cole Kugel legally and safely flew his Cessna 182 as pilot in command on his 100th birthday. So can I. So can you.
