You Can Change Everything

Christine Larkin Editor

Have you ever felt you wanted to start anew and change everything? Well, you can. Deciding to make a change can be difficult, but it's not impossible. We get stuck in our comfort zone, and we can stay there for years. As we age, we begin to look back on our lives and examine what we've accomplished and think about the things we still want to do. But where do we begin?

I advocate for people 60 and beyond to thrive in older age through knowledge and self-awareness. These years can be transformative, but they require focus, determination, and planning if we want to change course. What do you want the remaining years of your life to look like? By now, most of us have less debt, more money, and are thinking about retirement. Hopefully, you have some investments or a pension that you can count on, too. That combined with Social Security, and you might just have enough to live on in your older years. But where? Maybe you own a home that you're thinking of selling to move to another city or state. Perhaps you're thinking of taking a cross-country road trip in an RV and putting your belongings in storage. Where are some of the places you still want to see? What are some of the things you still want to do? No matter what is going on in your personal life, you can change everything.

Every little step adds up, and before you know it, you've got a plan in place that can be a road map to your next big chapter. It just takes that first step to begin it, 60 and beyond.
