Don’t let your sailboat be in the driveway when you die.
This message isn’t about retirement or money, it’s about time.
And we never know how much of it we have left, yet humans are always struggling with destination addiction…
“I’ll be happen when…
I graduate.
I can afford a home.
I find my person.
I make partner.
I get that promotion.
I retire.
But retirement isn’t an age or a number, it is simply when we stop sacrificing today for an imaginary tomorrow.
In doing so, we can live a retired life while still working towards something better. We can accept that there’s really no such thing as work/life balance, it’s all just life.
And we can make the conscious decision to stop putting life on hold.
To live, now.
So that our sailboat isn’t sitting all covered up in the driveway when our time is up.
Instead, it’s faded, covered with sand and water, with battered sails.
