GM Nostr!

I had a friend visiting last week and he mentioned that he was hoping to retire early in 10 years or so. We've known each other a long time, so he easily noticed my poorly covered sense of dread and laughed at me.

I mean, I get it. But it's not me. The best problem in the world is to have too much exciting and important feeling work to do and never enough time to do it all.

I'm eternally grateful to have somehow found myself in this position.

I'll never retire. 💜

That’s awesome Jeff. You are following your passion.

Retiring for me is doing what I care about which I don't plan on ever stop doing and not having to work for others because I have to which is currently the case.

Exactly! I want to just do some useful work that I appreciate without looking into how much I’m paid for. I just need to retire me and my whole family.

Good morn, Nostr, a tale I weave,
Of a friend’s visit, a brief reprieve.
He dreams of rest in ten years’ span,
While dread I hid, he saw, and ran.

Not fear for me, but joy unbound,
Work that thrills where life is found.
Too much to do, too grand, too dire,
I’ll chase it still, never retire. 💜

That’s the attitude! 🫡🚀🚀🚀

(I’ll retire when I am 6 feet under)

Retire is for who needs to work. Life purpose is ongoing passion 🙏

I hope I'm able to work on bigger projects later in life.

We’re all scaling up all the time!

GM JeffG. I’ll never retire because I found my purpose in bitcoin and will always provide my time and energy fueling this network 🧡

Easy to say when you are young. Still I like your drive sir.

Yea never retire

Hi jeffG 🏴‍☠️⚡️🤟

Retirement is for those who seek an end. Purpose is for those who seek infinity. Sounds like you’ve chosen wisely.

Same ! I’ve included that in my list of must shared value with people I collab with . My brain can’t comprehend it , people who strive to find their Ikigai never feel that way

GM 🧡

I think of retirement as freedom from pursuing moneymaking tasks so one can pursue tasks that promote one's internal values.

Hopefully your friend isn't just going to sit in front of the TV all the time.
