“At age 20, we worry about what others think of us.  

At age 40, we don’t care what they think.  

At age 60, we discover they haven’t been thinking of us at all.”

Say Hello to Yourself 

Drumroll, please! You have arrived at your defining moment. Lights, camera, action, red carpet! Here we are together in our Fifth Chapter. I’m not just researching and writing about it—I’m living it. This is real life. I’m either “on the job, out of a job, no longer on the job, retired from a job, but not a lot of startups. You’re just praying you can still “get up.” It’s the chapter after your fiftieth birthday and until the end of life. Most of us don’t even put candles on our cakes—if we have a cake at all. Some of us have to watch our sugar intake, so it may just be a small slice of pie, not a whole piece. This is when you say hello to yourself, your genuine, authentic self, and say goodbye to all the phonies, fakes, facsimiles, and fibbers. It’s truly fabulous! You are free. You don’t have to pretend. Your AARP arrives, like clockwork, on the big 5-0 birthday, and it’s sobering. You don’t have anything else to prove, even though you never did but thought you did. It’s all yours! It’s what I call “making a ‘you’ turn.”
