Fight Or Flight! As Boomers Approach Retirement
By Jose Valdez

The sun set on your honeymoon many years ago.

Your kids are approaching or have recently arrived at young
adulthood.

You have been living in different domains - at the office - and now you
are transitioning into sharing the same domain - your home - but who is
in charge?

You are reclaiming your life . . . with no longer matching goals. One
wants adventure (flight) . . . one wants to make it work (fight).

If you recognize this scenario, you are not alone. Millions of Baby
Boomers are approaching retirement and asking “Who am I?” and “What
is my life about?” And if you are part of a couple, there is more at stake
than just adopting a new lifestyle.

So before you buy the red convertible and flee with the blonde 20 years
your junior, or your young and handsome personal trainer, you may
want to stop and take a look at how you can recapture your dreams
through openly communicating your needs to your mate, identifying the
negotiables, and reinventing your marriage.

If you “want to be me”, but you’re not sure how to “evolve into yourself”,
you may find that participating in classes which address this common
need, finding a way to involve your mate in open discussion to identify
each of your needs and wants, and/or working with a relationship coach,
may be less painful for you both.

Robert Pirsig’s Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
helped transform

the Baby Boomers in their earlier years and helped
show them how to live. Perhaps it’s time to dust off that old volume and
add a chapter of your own. It’s not too early and it’s never too late to
redefine the fundamental ways you choose to lead your life.
Enlightenment and self-discovery are the legacy of this new generation.
