If you are looking for an exemplary #postcareer transition and a model for #activeretirement, look at 𝐉𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫. He was forced into #earlyretirement at 56, in 1980, when he lost to Ronald Reagan in the presidential election. His #retirement was 44 years long (Carter recently passed away at the age of 100). Rather than living the venerable life of an ex-president (giving speeches and curating his library), Carter transitioned to effective peacemaker and a champion of human rights. The The Carter Center, which he founded in 1982 with his wife Rosalyn, observed hundreds of elections 🗳, and significantly contributed to the eradication 💉of Guinea worm 🐛 disease, a parasitic infection which paralyzed many thousands of people in Africa and Asia. In 2002 Carter was awarded the 𝑁𝑜𝑏𝑒𝑙 𝑃𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑧𝑒 ☮️ He also volunteered for one week every year for Habitat for Humanity, building ⚒️ affordable homes for poverty-stricken people, and regularly taught 📚 Sunday school. 🧐 In the age of #longevity, our post-career can last for decades ⏳⏳⏳ 📢 Rather than looking nostalgically 🔙, missing 😢 who we were and living in the past 🕰️, we should do like Jimmy Carter. Even better if we reinvent ourselves to do good 💝🌎🌹🕊️ 🚀 If you are a recent retiree and even if, like #JimmyCarter, you would have preferred another 4 years or more in your job, still the future 🔭 can be something to look forward to 🌈 if you can fill it with purpose and meaning. 📌 The second 50 years of life can be the best 🥇 #ready4longevity #thebest50years #givingback
