Fulfilment in retirement
Pardon the pun, but is there a difference between fulfil and fill full in retirement? That is the $64,000 dollar question. Let me explain.
In retirement you can certainly fill your days, months and years fully. There are a huge number of activities on offer to distract you: sport, TV, WhatsApp and Facebook, long lunches etc. BUT is that fulfilment for you?
Not necessarily, because there is the ever-present risk of BINAM: Busy Is Not Always Meaningful.
Turn that the other way. I claim that fulfilment comes as a result of you breathing life into your retirement, in a way that meets your basic needs and wants.
In other words the arrow should go this way
Your needs and wants >>>> the correct activities for you
Not the other way around.
