What Gets You Out of Bed in the Morning?

Beyond Retirement

This episode is a reflection on the topic covered in my conversation with Joe Curry, namely identifying your purpose and values in retirement.

It's important to know your values and figure out what your purpose is, but it's not important to keep that same purpose throughout your journey in life. Your purpose can - and probably WILL - change over the course of your lifetime. Understanding this will help guide you in determining how to live your life.

"What gets you out of bed in the morning" should be something that you're excited about, something that leads to fulfilment for you.

If you haven't figured out what that is, take a look at a couple of resources I offer on my website, a book called Finding Your Why and a short course of the same name. These will both help you move toward what your current purpose in life is, and by redoing the exercises in future, you may discover that your purpose changes over time.
