A Life with Purpose – Finishing Well

If you are over 60 - This is the best time of your life, you have more than 60 years’ of valuable experience to learn from. You have done all the things you “had to do” – pursued a career or slogged hard at building a business; get married, have kids and maybe grandkids, or discovered you preferred to stay single, whatever you did in the past as it was what was expected of you.

But now, it’s your time. Your time to finish well. The reality is we will not live forever. What’s important is that we finish well. That’s what any marathon runner will tell you. It’s the last 20 or more years – any extra is what I call “Bonus Time” that we can truly live for ourselves, to live life to the fullest.

And to finish well, we need a strong purpose. As Rick Warren said in his book The Purpose Driven Life, “Without a purpose, life is motion without meaning, activity without direction, and events without reason.”

Well, this year I’m turning 60 – something I have been looking forward to. I wanted to throw a big party to celebrate this new milestone in my life. Of course, the pandemic might put a stop to that plan, but it’s OK. I’m going to celebrate nonetheless.

I want to celebrate the good health God has given me. The friends I have, and of course my wonderful husband and soul mate. Most of all, I want to celebrate my strong passion for health and my single minded purpose of building the biggest community of health coaches in Asia. If you are above 60, share your purpose and passion with me, so we can celebrate LIFE together!
