I've worn many roles in my life. And when the time came, I slipped them off like a loose garment.

What I discovered is that I get to keep everything I learned while playing those roles.

What I let go of is making them my identity.

That was the part that kept me striving, proving, and performing.

Instead, I am remembering who I was before the roles.

The one whose value is not based on what she does, but on who she is.

In the wisdom years, the emphasis shifts. It becomes less about doing and more about being.

That's what Entirement is teaching me.
