Today's broadcast (8/20/09) deals with setting goals which will make it possible to live vibrantly after fifty.  The desire to be who we are capable of being really comes to the forefront in the second half of life. It is an exciting part of getting older - we are open to looking at ourselves and more tolerant of others.
The question to ask is: "What would make my life vibrant". Would it be having more friends, to live somewhere different, have a job that excites you, have more closeness with your spouse, find someone with whom you can share your life, or improve your well being through exercise, good eating habits, and have clothes that compliment you?

In order to make changes set a big goal and you will find that as you pursue it you will add smaller goals.  Change can only happen by taking action.

1. To achieve your goal enjoy the process of getting there.
2. Goals require us to stretch who we are and grow into who we know we are capable of becoming.
3. Goals force us to grow internally and take action to move forward.
4. Joy comes from enjoying who one is now while taking action to make our lives the way we want them to be.

The format of the VIBRANT AFTER FIFTY show is discussion of a specific topic that will enhance vibrancy and interviews with men and women who share what they are doing to make their lives vibrant.  This is a weekly show on Thursdays at 1 PM Eastern time.
