End of Year Reflections from FutureDecisions
As we close out the year a couple of things of note regarding we Baby Boomers. Number one, the first wave of Baby Boomers turned 60 this year. By the end of 2007 40% of Baby Boomers will be 60 years old! This is amazing to us here at FutureDecisions because neither one of us ever thought about being 60, it was sooo old, but yet one of us will be there soon.Second, we are constantly amazed at how much the Baby Boomer population has to offer society. When we were younger we protested and wrote letters and dodged the draft in defiance of the status quo. Then, we became the status quo and judging by many of the problems facing the United States as we close out 2006 we have not done a terrific job. We have a war which that seems to go on forever, corporate corruption at unprecedented levels; political corruption seems to continue unabated and so on. Yet, we when we work with Baby Boomers now we find that there is this realization that although things may have not gone as well as we might have wanted when we were imagining the future in our younger days the fact of the matter is we have new opportunities to positively alter the landscape.While many of the ideals we had in our younger days went by the wayside there is an awakening in many of us that we have a second chance. If we make the most of it we can bring a new level of peace, prosperity and integrity to our world and leave a legacy of which we can all be proud.
