I can still become the best version of myself at almost 60. Thanks LB
After facing retrenchment and discrimination, Mickey discovered through Lifebook that they had already achieved so much in 10 out of 12 life areas. This realization helped them create an exciting alternative career plan and become fitter than ever before at almost 60.
Before Lifebook I had been retrenched and because of racism and agism in SA, found it impossible to be reemployed. Thanks to Lifebook, I realized two things. Firstly that my life is actually pretty good, and I had actually achieved so much. Secondly it highlighted that I have only 2 areas that need serious focus, and I had actually done so well in 10/12 areas. Once I had identified my values and character strengths I have been able to create a career plan which is alternative and exciting. And now, my life will be different, invigorating and it will keep me much more stimulated than I would have been had I stayed in the corporate world. In terms of physical fitness I have lost weight and am already fitter than I have ever been. My friends are envious of my path going forward, and although I am nervous, I can still become the best version of myself at almost 60. Thanks LB!
