The Journey Begins Today

“Your new life will cost you your old one.” Brianna Weist

There’s a temptation and fear that prevents me from moving fully into my Senior Essence.

The temptation to return to the work I once did and a life that I once had.  But to do that I empower fear and stunt my destined growth, my Senior Essence Adventure.

Next, the fear that I feel from being divorced, single, and retired at 66 is often overwhelming. To live solely off my own resources was terrifying until I accepted where I am and took a detailed inventory of what I have.

I must embrace where I am now and make the most of my future journey. I want to have an adventure before I die!

There is no current definition of what my future may hold. I intend to reconnect with my true identity and live on my own terms.

My goal is not to fall into another “programmed” existence that simply requires me to show up. My intent is to experiment and create an assortment of experiences in this ever evolving, unfolding of time.

My Senior Essence is an opportunity to discover my true self, without exception or rule.

I allow the path to unfold, one step at a time. I’m exactly where I need to be.

Today, I begin my journey of Becoming. And should I decide to return to work, it will be because I want to. Not have to. I’m planning to “Live a Higher Version of Today!”

In Practice:

What will I carry forward? What will I leave behind? I must travel freely and well! Too much

baggage weighs me down, too little exposes me to the dangers of the unknown.

Action Item:

Begin by taking inventory of what I have, what I need and what no longer

serves me. Simplify.
