It suggests that one day we simply stop. Stop building. Stop learning. Stop contributing.
But I have always felt there is a better word for it: Retryment.
Because the most fulfilled people I know never truly retire. They simply reinvent themselves. They retry old dreams, rediscover forgotten passions, revisit ideas they never had time for, and reintroduce themselves to the world in a different way.
Life was never meant to be a straight line from work to rest. It is a continuous journey of growth, curiosity, and purpose.
Perhaps the goal is not to retire from something, but to retry something.
A new skill.
A new business.
A new adventure.
A new version of yourself.
The calendar may say you have reached retirement age.
Your purpose may just be getting started.
