And I do think the baby boomers are likely to change the picture of aging. They already are. Which is great for all of us!

Although he's not alone. Harrison Ford, in his 60s, is doing Indiana Jones movies, and Sean Connery did an action movie in his 70s if I remember correctly. You know, I read about a study that says the brain continues to produce new cells, there's no slowing down as people get older. And there's no reason why people can't be as involved and interested in life as they were when they were younger. Maybe we really have been indoctrinated by a society that worships youth. I wonder if those attitudes will shift now that the baby boomers are hitting retirement age. Go, Boss! Although he’s not alone.

One of the things I most love about my "lights on" coaching is helping people discover what lights them up -- what energizes and enlivens them, what they love, what they're passionate about . That is fun work that lights <strong>me </strong>up! Ruth, I agree many people have lost (or perhaps never had) their passion and inspiration.

In some cases, because they don't know what inspires them; in others because they have given up what inspires them in order to make money to pay for the life they think they want. I know I had dreams as a child; those dreams were mostly squashed by the adults in my life who thought I should be more 'practical' in what I wanted to do. You know, the get-a-trade-you-can-earn-money-from thing, and then go follow your dreams. The problem is, getting an education or training so you can get a job and earn money puts you on the hamster wheel, and you may never get off.

I read today that he cancelled a show because his cousin was found dead in his hotel room. Springsteen's "Seeger Sessions" was truly inspired. I love The Boss.
