"Living Forward, Giving Back"

Thanks again to Isabelle, a life and business coach who presents pre-retirement seminars across Canada, for her presentation 'Without Regrets:  Happiness Intentionality and Re-Engagement in Life's Second Half.  She outlined four dimensions:  autonomy, pleasure/leisure, engagement, and meaning.  Self-determination is iimportant in the retirement phase since it gives direction and purpose.  Three keys to intentional living:  proactivity, knowing your values, and clear vision with specific goals.  You need to determine who you are when you are no longer in your profession/job.  Prevent isolation by volunteering, spending time with friends and family, continuing education, and finding interesting hobbies or activities.  Lead a life without regrets!
