Refire Don’t Retire Quotes

“That’s a funny line, but it’s a terrible motto,” said Janice. “I want to embrace what’s left of life, not complain about it.”

Embrace what’s left of life at any given moment. Never complain about the gift of life and its manifold blessings! Use it well to bless others. To encourage others. To uplift others. To accomplish Gods plans first and your goals second. Let your life be led by the Master Plan of God and not the Master Plan of humanity. Trust the process of God. Not the process of man. Refire up yourself for God in love, positivity and joy and share that with everyone around you. There is so much love to give to this world! So give it through love and kind words and poetry and your letters and novels. ( )

By the title, I thought this was strictly about going back into the work force and enjoying it, but this book is way beyond that. It is way beyond just retirement. It is actually about doing the things that you enjoy to do, and picking things that give you purpose. I will share this book with my husband. When we first met, I was the old fuddy duddy, and my husband was very active. Over the years, it has been like we have traded places, and I have felt so stifled from doing the same things over and over again. This book is very positive and does provide inspiration. It is also not just meant for older people. People of all ages can and do get stuck in a rut. This book gives advice on how not to be bored with life. You don't have to be rich to have a great life. That is what I am discovering. We are struggling now as much as we did when first married. We had our house paid off, but with a son going to college, bad economy, and cutbacks to my husband as well as inability to even find permanent part-time work for me, life has been rough. However, this book shows how you don't have to stay in your own misery waiting for your situation to change. ( )
