During our work years, our goals centered around success: professionally and financially. From the beginning of our careers, we learned through experience (challenges and failures) to increase our capabilities to achieve mastery.
After our work years are over, the proverbial mountain has been climbed. Our drive, abilities, and inner-wiring don’t disappear or evaporate. So, how do you take the decades of achievement—and channel it into something else that has meaning and purpose?
If you want to use a sports analogy, think offense and defense. You didn’t become successful being on defense; it was the constant attack into the offensive zone.
Your Chapter X might be filled with times of relaxation, travel, fun, and other leisure activities. But for many, there is still the lack of drive towards something meaningful.
Use your skills, experience, and mindset to apply efforts towards activities that check the box of meaning and purpose. You know what it means to be on offense, it’s just about the way you apply it now.
