Retirement


Bea Arthur died. She was best known as her character Dorothy that she played on the Golden Girls. Her tribute today was awe inspiring. She made a statement today that I thought was very profound. She said, "Actors don't retire. Retire is what people do, who don't like their jobs." How succinct! She was still performing at 86 and loving every minute of it. To find something that you love and get paid doing it is the best blessing in the world. Can you imagine making a salary to do something that you are passionate about doing? Imagine working everyday at something that you would do for free. Utopia! When you love what you do, you are happier and the world just seems sweeter. Life's little problems don't seem to bother you as much. You can find a reason to be grateful everyday when you love what you do. You don't waste energy lying about reasons why you can't go to work and while at work, you truly do your best. Find something that you love and just do it. Against all odds, find your passion and immerse yourself into it! You'll be thankful that you did!
