Conscious Aging: Relinquishing

As we age, move into what is sometimes called the second phase of adulthood (moving out of career and family building), we may become aware of a need to step back from the work that has been central in our lives, allowing others to step forward; such a recalling of our forces can bring mixed feelings about our sense of selves and purpose in the world, yet represents a phase that must be welcomed as we age more consciously.

Loved the recalling forces analogy..getting the balance between striving and letting go is an ongoing battle for me.Thank you for this beautiful reflection.

Just what i needed at a time i am letting my professional registration lapse after a 60 year battle
