Many years before retirement I lost a job that I had for many years, and it took me quite awhile to land another.
During the long time I was out of work I came to the
realization that I was still a useful, worthwhile
human being even without a job!
I also realized there were other ways to aquire good feelings about your life, such as hobbies,
other interests
and even helping others!
One big thing that I personally feel helped was, just prior to retirement asking God to help and guide me to
find useful and healthy activities to fill the free time I would have!
Then, keep an open mind and try different activities!
