Oh no - I'm an "inverse paranoid"

Oh no - I'm an "inverse paranoid"

Author: Dan Miller - 48 Days & Glassbox Media November 17, 2023 Duration: 44:53

Success is something you attract by the way you think and the person you become. You don't have to change the company, the economy, the government, your boss or your spouse - you get to change YOU and you'll see your whole world change. Remember, our minds are like gardens. They give us a bigger return of whatever we planted. If you think about negative things you will see those enlarge in your life. If you expect and think about positive things, you will see more and more of those in your reality. In setting goals you are indeed creating your own future.

I like to expect good things coming my way. I expect the people I meet to be eager to help me. I expect to find that parking spot just where I need it. I expect to feel great when I wake up in the morning. And yeah - I expect to make it to the gas station even if the fuel gauge is flashing empty. 

We've got some great questions today - from listeners like you who are looking for ways to be fully engaged in life at 55, 65 and more. Maybe you just lost your job and can't fathom going back to work for another company. Or you're just bored to death as Monette shares. Or you're afraid your dreams are buried - and it's too late to think about having a life you love.

So, grab your cup of tea - or maybe your Mt. Dew - and get ready for a power-packed episode filled with practical advice, inspiring stories, and valuable resources to help maximize your opportunities!

Questions: 

1. I'm bored to death. Should I retire now at 62? 

2. I was laid off a few weeks ago, which was fine because I hated the job. I can't fathom interviewing for another position or company at 54. 

3. I'm not spiritually or mentally ready to retire, but I don't want to go back to the corporate world. 

4. I "retired" from a job I had grown to despise on my 55th birthday, but now I feel like I may not be doing enough to support my family and reach our goals.
