You’re Old Because You Want to Be is a book about rediscovering yourself after you reach age 50 and above. There are a ridiculous number of people who die within 3 years of retiring. In the United States, too many people work hard for 40 or more years and then retire to die. It doesn’t have to be that way. The reader of this book should want to take charge of their life, and their lifestyle is the key. By sharing 6 principles, Responsibility, Imagination, Passion, Perseverance, Integrity, and Tenacity, with the reader they will discover the modern way of life is slowly killing them, and they need to change the way they live. They are either moving forward to a new life or backward to an early death. The choice is really up to the individual. They can live a great and long LAST HALF of their life or not. It's really up to them. Aging doesn't have to include deterioration of the body or the mind. It's not a normal part of growing old. People assume they will just get old and die. What! I say stay young and live! You need to take charge of your life. Your lifestyle is the key. You have to change the way you live. The modern way of life is killing you slowly. In essence you’re telling your body to shut down early. How are you going to live the next 20, 30, 40 plus years of your life? What choices will you make today in order to create the future you desire? Do not have the goal of the average 50-year-old to be more “comfortable”. In this day and age, you can still be anything you want to be. Let's do it. Now that you’ve made it into your 50’s, who do you really want to be when you grow up? Be positive. You have many great years left. If you’re 50, you can have at least 30 to 40 great years left. It’s your choice. Do what you really want to do. It’s only too late to start if you think it’s too late. I like to think of turning 50 as the end of the first half and the age after 50 as the LAST HALF. If you are 50, you have the LAST HALF of your life remaining. If you’re 50 now (or 60, 70 or beyond), should you give up on your dreams and forget a better life? Go to bed and wait to die? I say, “NO!” The LAST HALF is the best half. The books chapters will introduce a new philosophy I have labeled RIPPIT. It’s a blueprint and a way to organize and structure your life with 6 key principles in order for you to live a great LAST HALF. It's time to go after everything as if your life depends on it, because it does.
