EMPOWER Definitions from Oxford Languages
em·pow·er
verb
Give (someone) the authority or power to do something.
Make (someone) stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights.
Empowerment is much more than getting out of your home to play golf, pickleball, cards, or dance in the squares. Being empowered is being self-sufficient in your thoughts and actions. You hold the power to do what’s best for you. You have the power to be happy.
You are strong.
You are resilient.
You are worthy, and you matter.
You hold the power!
Heck Yea!
Life is a journey. Retirement is a journey too. With older adults living longer than ever before, today’s retirement journey can last 10-30+ years. There are many twists and turns full of fun, joy, and sorrow during this second stage of life.
Learning how to navigate the second stage of life, takes self-awareness and planning for the unexpected challenges. Retirement is a time to rediscover who you are and create a lifestyle that brings you authenticity, independence, and contentment.
While rediscovering who we truly are can be scary, it is mostly empowering and joyful to live an authentic life. When you live according to your own values, unique interests, and abilities, you will live your life more content, purposeful, and fulfilled.
If you keep saying to yourself any of the following phrases, join us to overcome these common challenges and thrive during your fabulous golden chapter:
