🚨 Mandatory retirement is a mistake.

In some Blue Zones, there’s no word for retirement—because people never stop living with purpose. In Okinawa, they have “Ikigai”—the reason you wake up in the morning.

If you love what you do, if it keeps you mentally and physically active, why stop? Retirement isn’t the goal—a meaningful life is.
