Let me tell you something that took me seven decades to understand. Everyone talks about retirement like it's an endpoint, but they're missing the whole picture. At 73, I've discovered that what we call "retirement" is actually the beginning of the most important chapter of your life.

Look, if you're not willing to face the truth about yourself, you're just living in this fantasy world, right? Like, people who can't confront reality, they're just walking around in this bubble of lies, making excuses, avoiding the real work. Nobody grows that way.
