How Can I Find My Purpose?

After leaving your career, it can seem impossible to find your purpose and identity. Many retirees struggle to find how to move on from life after work. Drawing inward and looking at the people and relationships around you is a great way to start rediscovering your purpose. Your connections with family now have the time to be stronger and more meaningful. Invite your kids and grandkids over for dinner once a week. This can give you and them something to look forward to while strengthening your bond. Live far away from family? Just moved into a new place? Take walks around your neighborhood and meet the neighbors you see out and about, look for local clubs and activities to participate in. Finding your purpose will look completely different for you than someone else. What's important though, is that you find activities, people and a place that leave you feeling fulfilled and ready to tackle the next day.
