What is retirement?
Keep journals
As we grow and age in this life, we seem to have a generalized goal in a certain period of time. The first 18 to 25 years can be set aside for education and training. From 25 to 35 years old can be called a period when a person gets married and raises some children. From 35 to 55 or 65 is a job or career that focuses on one person. Then you came to the era of "retirement." What exactly is "retirement"? Of course, ideally, this means that in the end you can stop working and just "enjoy" your life with your spouse. Your child grows up and you no longer need to go to work every day.
But what is "retirement"? All the previous sections of life have a detailed description. But "retirement" is somewhat vague to some extent. People will think that retirement will be the long-awaited goal of life. But instead, we left a vague image, a pretty fat man playing golf, drinking "in the club" and women enjoying raising her grandson. But if you are not a golfer [or a drinker] and your grandchildren don't really need you to raise them? Ok.
There is actually a specific purpose to accomplish in a period called "retirement." But the media generally does not discuss this issue because it is related to "spirit." The period we call retirement is actually a period in which people should review their entire life experiences. What you learned from your life over 65 years old in this three-dimensional hologram called Earth Life. What did "Mary" or "Jim" actually learn in this life? How can you grow your soul?
This reminds me of a theme: keeping the journal. This doesn't take a lot of time, you don't have to be a talented writer. You only need to keep some form of notes about your life experience. This is an interesting thing I found [reserved for more than 50 years]. In all the notes I detailed about the specific patterns of stress and the list of complaints, I noticed that from time to time there will be one or two detailed "paragraphs" that pop up on the page that are unrelated to the previous or subsequent. Suddenly there will be a deep "insight". Then, just as suddenly it stops, the symbol will return to my general complaint mode and detail my frustration with one thing and another. Then, after a week, maybe a few months later, another "deep" insight will appear again. It may be just one or two paragraphs, or it may be the entire page. Moreover, when rereading my journal, I found that this seems to happen semi-regularly, although I didn't realize "insight" at the time of writing.
This is a pretty amazing part. I browsed my journals in yellow and noticed where and when these isolated "views" appeared. Then I found that they are all connected! It looks like a vase that has been broken a long time ago and the pieces are scattered over time. Or, look at it in another way, just as "I" is keeping two journals. One is my current list of personal frustrations and complaints, and the other is from a higher perspective. But the "higher" view is still "I." This is just my point of view from a higher frequency mind. Some people may call it a gift. Others may call celestial schizophrenia. But this is not uncommon. All of us are having a lot of conversations with "ourself." However, we are often distracted by the continued drama of life.
For many people, journals are just a "male" euphemism for "diary." And we know that many young girls keep a diary in high school or high school. But equally, most early maritime explorers kept diaries, except that they were called ship logs, which detailed their adventures and used them as historical documents. I suggest that you think of yourself as an early explorer of a dangerous mission that you have never tried before: personally explore your life! Think of your journal as your ship log.
I also recommend that if the diary is "popular", these journals will be studied as historical documents in universities around the world on certain days in the future. "Life in the 21st century is really like it."
But who has the time to actually suppress paper and pencil in this world of constant distraction and immediate satisfaction? Um... no need. If you own a computer or smartphone, you only need to install a voice text program or application, and you will suddenly have a private secretary to cancel all related ideas, your secretary will work 24-7 for free!
Now this is what I call "retirement."
***
Here are five specific recommendations for readers who have not retained journals but now find themselves in the "retirement phase" of life:
1. List each address you have ever lived in. Describe each location as much as possible.
2. List all the "forks" on the road to life. These are not necessarily particularly good or bad, they are just a point of position where they make changes to all subsequent choices.
3. List all the "close-up calls" you have at the time of death. Everyone has these "events" that happen in their lives and can easily lead to their death, but not. Call it "destiny" or just wish you good luck. Each of them is described in detail.
4. Describe your life in 5 years increments. Starting from the age of 5. What memory [if any] you have between your birth and 5 years old. Then continue to recall things between 5 and 10 years old. Do not enter 11 or 12 years old. Continue it steadily in 5 years increments. Do this until you are 5 years old now.
5. Create a "reverse storage list". The "normal" bucket list will be a list of actions you will perform in the future. In the case of a reverse bucket list, relive life and choose what has been done or completed. Things you like or are proud of, and list them as "like" you haven't really done them yet, but list them as things you want or want to accomplish or accomplish at some point in your life.
