WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?
The first step is to decide what you really want.
Not necessarily what your parents wanted for you. Not what the culture around you wants for you. What do you want? You.
As I come alongside folks heading into retirement, we start with this question. Different people want different things. The trouble is, until they ask this question of themselves, many people don’t really yet know what they want.
They have an idea from movies and television and social media what the culture says they should want, what other people want, what society wants to sell them.
But, that is not the question. And sometimes we need to ask the question more than once, because sometimes what we want is not what we really want on second thought.
Make sense?
