This is quite interesting. If there is one thing I miss in retirement it is the sense of unlimited possibilities. I have been fortunate in my career. For the most part, I enjoyed my work and found it fulffilling, creative and intersteing. I have always been an optimisit who beleived that anything I wanted was within my grasp. In my career, I have always been a hunter who enjoyed the challenge and was successful at it. Now that I am retiring, I struggle accepting that there are limits. I am absolutely grateful at my good fortune to be where I am but it is tough to accept the notion that there are limitations. For the first time in my life I lack the motivation and energy (and possibly the cognitive ability) to continue the race.I suppose it is more an issue of getting older as well as retiring.
