No two people approach retirement in the same way; one might embrace the prospect passionately while the other frets and worries. Thought patterns create attitudes and attitudes create outcomes. Outcomes in turn can shape lives for good or ill as in these disparate hypothetical case studies.
Retirement is six months away for Harry and he is filled with feelings of foreboding. An advance calculation of his works pension payout indicates a shortfall in what he’d been led to expect. All he can sees ahead is a diminution of living standards and his foreboding escalates into acute anxiety. He decides to put the matter to the back of his mind and goes into denial, pushing his energies into a series of pointless pursuits.
Anne on the other hand has retirement thrust upon her unexpectedly. She reckoned she had at least another five years of work in her but her employers thought otherwise. They offered Anne a niggardly package to retire early and as she has no works pension to fall back on, her financial future looks bleak in the extreme. She is quite naturally concerned but unlike Harry employs her energies constructively in formulating a plan of action; a plan that will enable her to live in marginally reduced circumstances; a plan that will enrich her retirement in every other direction.
Harry is in for stormy weather with his negative thinking; Anne is in control of her destiny through the power of positive thought and action.
Negative thoughts, words and attitude open up negative and unhappy moods and actions. When the mind is negative, poisons are released into the blood causing more unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to failure, frustration and disappointment. Conversely, positive thinking can move mountains and resolve problematic situations to which on the surface there would appear to be no logical solution.
