   Daily Inspiration: "Retirement? It's no longer a number, it's a phase!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

   Years ago - many years ago, it seems - I wrote this into an article:

   "Are you ready for a world in which the concept of "retirement' has come to an end? If not, you'd better be, as this is likely to rapidly emerge as the most significant issue for every organization through the next ten years. That's because right now, we have a "perfect storm" brewing that involves three succinct but interrelated trends that will see the ongoing involvement in the workforce of people well past the age of 65." 

   In that context, yesterday was a pretty big and important milestone day for me!

   According to the rules and norms of the 'olden days,' I should be fully retired as of this moment - after all, that's what you were expected to do! But retirement? That's not going to happen! Things have changed much in the past years, with the fact being that many seniors are of a mindset to keep on going with what they enjoy doing. Many are instead deciding to perhaps slowly wind down for a time rather than fitting into some hard, specific date.

   With that in mind, here's the article I wrote back in 2004. It makes even more sense today!
