SAGEING NOT AGING

Sageing rather than aging.  This is the new mindset of people entering the next stage of life.  The BOOMERS.  What a great generation.  What a great club to belong to.  I personally love the idea and the characterization of the new lifestyle of Boomers.  Although I am considered a Gen X, I am on the cusp of being a Boomer having been born in 1965 and quite honestly I think of myself more as a Boomer.  I relate to the Boomers well and fancy myself a Late Boomer (pun intended).

We always looked up to our elders when we were kids.  Sometimes the elder was our 30 year old school teacher or 50 year old President or our 40 year old dad or mom.  They were wise.  They were our sages.  Recent movies have various Sages be it a Yoda character, a Marlon Brando Godfather figure full of wise advice for his children, a religious figure or even our children or grandchildren can at times come out with “sage advice”.  But we, the Boomers have risen to that next level.  We are the sages of this generation and that is why I love the recently coined term Sageing.  Sageing not aging.  A sage is wise and introspective.

Sageing is introspection simply put.  It is utilizing our years of experience and doing something for ourselves.  Opening a business we always wanted to open perhaps or taking up a hobby we never had time for or sharing our wisdom with kids in a classroom setting or via a webinar or YouTube.  It might be writing a novel or cookbook.  Playing golf or just watching the grass grow.  It will be whatever you want it to be.  After all we are Sageing not aging.
