RETIRE happy

In our modern, long-hours culture, we place a high value on career and success. So it’s not surprising that retirement is seen as an end, rather than the start of something new. But it’s a mistake to think that you have to have a job to be productive or fulfilled. Many people achieve much more when they retire than they ever did at work, finally having the time to pick up on their interests, and be true to their passions. Retirement is a state of mind rather than something that starts at a certain age. And life doesn’t need to close or end. In fact, it can open up in surprising and healing ways.  And it can also be a journey of discovery and adventure. Go into it with curiosity about yourself and embrace the possibilities that open up to you. Filmed in Suurbraak, South Africa. Featuring Gary Goldstein.
