I agree that for most people their job defines them but I never thought that and always knew it was just a means to support myself. Most people need a purpose for existing or just getting up in the morning but I look forward to not having to get up, for anything! I am a creative so the passion comes from within not from my surroundings. I consider myself lucky in this. I look forward to just being able to follow my passions and see where it leads.

I’m entering this zone of just retired and feel half prepared. Competence, status and purpose resonates.
