Join the Forums!
The Forum is designed to visit with each other about changes, as well as to learn from one another. Each month, a $25 Starbucks gift card will be given to a randomly-selected Forum participant (or $25 will be donated to the charity of your choice).
Categories reflect not only my research interests as an educator and scientist, but also things that I have found are important to understand about oneself. This is your opportunity to share with others, to learn from others, and to help others learn about themselves.
Sign up for Paid Research!
Send your e-mail address (via Contact) for inclusion change-related research. Please include a summary of your changes, and/or direct me to your Forum entries. Research will commence when we have enough participants for valid study results. At that time, participants will be entered in random drawings for gift cards to Amazon, Starbucks, and other retailers (or an equal amount will be donated to the charity of choice). Other paid studies on social research will be available over time.
When you are wondering what life is all about, you are searching for its meaning. When you wonder what you’ve been put on earth to do or be, you are asking about the meaning of your life. When you express the desire to make your life count, you are acknowledging the importance of having a meaningful life, and making a difference.
Having meaning in your life has long been recognized as an important element in enabling humans to cope with adversity and live with greater satisfaction. Knowing your life’s purpose can give direction to your life, and help you figure out where to focus your energy, time and money.
Your life’s purpose provides a singular, unifying theme in your life. It provides a focus that is uniquely YOURS. Your life’s purpose must be something that fits you—not your mother, not your boss, not your spouse. The focus of your life needs to fit you and your unique blend of personality, passions, talents and gifts.

It’s easy to look at the world today and feel discouraged by how things are in general. Maybe it’s getting worse all the time and maybe it’s not. How much of this is perception is difficult to know, since we live only a short time in this life-in the grand scheme of history.
So when we consider whether it’s worth the effort to move forwards with trying to change the world in a positive way, doubt has this sneakyness about it. It wants to creep into your heart and cripple you.

Some of us will likely never retire, or never get to retire!! As a business person, a marketer, and a market researcher, I found this data to be very interesting. As they state, consumption habits of aging Americans are likely to be very different from earlier generations.
