Seattle: Turn 60 or Die...Thoughts on the Big Six-Oh.

Jun. 2, 2009

My business partner is having a milestone birthday tomorrow. It's a big one and he's been having a bit of trouble leaning into it. This blog is dedicated to my friend and other half in business, Ron Waxman. Happy Birthday, pal.

The question is not what do you have to show for your life at this juncture, but what do you want the rest of your life to look like? That’s what matters now…designing the future and what you want to be sure you create to enjoy during the last third (+/-) of your life.

Have you travelled everywhere you want to go? Have you spent time with the people you love most? Have you told the people you love how you feel about them? (We can't be reminded enough of that one!) Have you extended yourself enough to the causes that are important to your heart? Do you have the money you need to do what you want in the coming years? If not, what do you need to create financially and how soon? What else do you want to do, see, produce, contribute and tend to? Be clear so that you fashion a life without regrets and a future that's rich with happiness, peace and contentment -- which is exactly what you deserve.
 
At sixty you have much to be grateful for, including your health, relationships, a long history of successes and a real estate business that is steady, rewarding and fun. No need to grieve this milestone, my friend. Rather, embrace the gift you’re still here, that you are surrounded by love and that you have wonderful people to love (an even greater gift than being loved).
 
A wise person once said, 'It's not the years in your life that matter, it's the life in your years'. You are a joyous spirit, Ron, and bring laughter and delight to all of us blessed enough to be in your world. May your 60th birthday mark the beginning of a life that's even more bright and satisfying than your journey has been getting here.

Beautifully said Ricklie a good reminder to all of us in the later chapters of our lives.  We all truly have so much to be grateful for. 

Happy Birthday dear Ron may you live 60 more years with a lust for life and no regrets!
