The Process of Finding Purpose Post-Retirement A healthy body and mind, successful career, loving family, and cheering social network together make a perfect life.
A slight downfall in any of these aspects can result in an imbalanced life and takes enormous effort to bring it back on track. Retirement life comes after a successful career and creates a sense of emptiness that is hard to fill. It also interferes with the sense of purpose in one’s life. The Meaning of Purpose in Life What is the purpose of life? Now, that’s a question hard to answer. But the answer can be gathered somewhere near the daily motivation that makes one feel complete and peaceful every given moment! It is the driving factor behind why one wakes up every day, teaches important life lessons, influences behavior and decisions, and a sense of direction. The answer is difficult, but everyone lives with a purpose whether they know it or not. How about the seniors who retired? Do they have a purpose in life? Let’s find out! ‘I am retired’ is not an answer! When one gets retired from a routine that made them wake up every day, it takes time and mental strength to regain meaning in life. It’s not easy. But it is not impossible too.
