mentally and physically active. For some, avoiding physical limitations<br />

into their 80s will be difficult, if not impossible. This underscores the<br />

importance <strong>of</strong> knowledge-based jobs in our later years. Knowledgebased<br />

jobs allow workers to shift more easily from one field to<br />

another. There is nothing wrong with jobs that involve physical labor,<br />

but as you age, it’s more difficult to perform those jobs and therefore<br />

more difficult to sustain an income.<br />

Take away the fact that working to improve your overall wellness is<br />

the greatest investment you can make -- not because it might help<br />

you reach 100 but because it definitely will help you enjoy the days<br />

required to get you there.<br />

And if you don’t make it to 100? At least you’ve enjoyed the ride. As<br />

proud as they are <strong>of</strong> reaching 100, the <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Stars</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Aging</strong> final take<br />

centenarians set a goal <strong>of</strong> reaching 100. They were simply enjoying<br />

life so much that one day, it happened.<br />

So what are you waiting for? Start Growing Bolder.<br />
