  SPEAKER_00: You are allowed the opportunity to outgrow something that used to fit you like a glove.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: You are entitled to change.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: As a matter of fact, I want you to imagine this.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: There's a point in life where we've got our careers, we've got routines.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: In different seasons, we've got these things that were just perfect in those seasons.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: But once you enter the third quarter of life, once you're 51 plus, all of a sudden you realize wait a second, this doesn't fit the way it used to fit.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: The abilities, things change.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know, the ability to wake up very early in the morning and, you know, rush to get ready and then head over to the office or to the job.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: That changes over time.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: You don't feel that.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I give you permission to change.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes people, that's all they need.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, you mean I can do that?
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, you have permission.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: You must give yourself permission to change.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes loyalty to our former self will hold our future self hostage.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: Who you were meant to become, the person that's been waiting to emerge from your life experiences and all the things that you've been able to learn, develop, and master.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: The person waiting to emerge is being held captive by your previous accomplishments, right?
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: The position that you held, the title that they gave you, director of such a it, it's it's it's a trap.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's like a rope, and it's got you tied up.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: But I want to challenge you that you can actually break free, that you don't have to live and die with that title.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to do that.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: As a matter of fact, there's more in you, and that more is waiting to be released.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: And if you ever sit and you're just thinking in the quiet of the day when you're meditating or praying, that there's something else there.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: There's got to be more than this.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: Is this all there is?
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: If you've ever had that thought, you are right.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: There is more.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: This is not all there is.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: You are not locked into that position or that title.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I will also challenge you with this: activating your next does not mean either or.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: Activating your next may be yes and.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: Because we can do two things at one time.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: Remember, when you start looking at your next, it should be something that you would be able to say, oh, I'm building a plan B.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: So your next or your plan B doesn't necessarily have to eliminate your plan A.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: It can go in tandem with your plan A.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: So you don't have to get rid of plan A to build plan B, but you don't want to disregard plan B because of plan A.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: Make sense?
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: At the end of the day, your future requires strategic decisions and action while you still have the ability.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: Remember, in the first five-minute episode, we talked about lifespan and health span.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: The two of those are different.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes, if we outlive our income, that can be extremely problematic in the future for not just us, but for our spouses.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: So we want to keep that in mind.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: Make the pivot while you can.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: Put a plan B in place while you still have a plan A.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: And remember, it's not either or sometimes.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's yes and it's time to activate your next because there's no time to waste.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see you on the next episode.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: Make it a great one.
