The Power Years...

The leading edge of the Baby Boomers (the eighty-four million Americans born between 1946 and 1964) will reach 60 this year. Every 8 seconds a Boomer will turn turn 60. Eleven thousand Boomers will turn 60 each day. Four and a half million will turn 60 this year! All Baby Boomers are over 40. The Baby Boomers turning 60 this year are more youthful and exhilarating. These new breed of agers are reinventing their own lives, and changing the attitude for the years after 60. The new paradigm for aging Americans is reinvention of retirement. Instead of becoming less, they are becoming more. Many Boomers are experiencing new spiritual fulfillment. Seeking life eternal has fueled the mega churches, media, small groups and interntational worship. A large number of retirees are charting new courses, considering new options, writing new chapters in their life's journey. The desire to deepen personal relationships is high prioirty. The excitement of making new relationships gives zest to the aging Baby Boomer. The anticipation of developing a socail life is high on the priority list. Energy and fun reclaims youth for the 84 million aging Boomers who are experiencing repowerment and personal reinvention. A book that will guide you into a powerful last half of life is Dr. Ken Dychtwald's book, The Power Years - A user's guide to the rest of your life. This book gives you a step by step guide to (1) Pursue Your Dreams, (2) Deepen Your Relationships, and (3) Achieve Financial Freedom. It's time we view the years ahead as a fabulous time to do the things, follow the passions, and enjoy the life God has planted inside each of us, instead of thinking our second half of life as retreat, decline, and isolation! The Baby Boomer generation is compared to a pig moving through a python. What legacy will we leave?
