As we start our journey we ask ourselves where we are today in our lives. We recognize that a shift has taken place as our lives are no longer constrained by expectations of employers, parents, children, etc. but are open to new pursuits and adventures that we choose for ourselves. A great opportunity coupled with a great responsibility.
My question is where do I begin? About a year ago I was going to visit my college roommate whom I had no seen in 43 years. I live in Des Moines, Iowa and he lives in Greenville, South Carolina. I decided I would like to drive as opposed to flying to Greenville for our reunion. Never having been to Greenville I knew I needed to map out the route I would follow. In order to do this, it was necessary to determine my starting point. To use Mapquest or any such service I had to know where I was as I began my road trip. No map or service providing driving directions would get me to my destination without y knowing where I was commencing my journey.
We found it just as necessary as we begin this new phase of our lives to know where we are today. Odyssey provides a method to do just that. We examine our financial condition, health, values and goals to help each of us understand where we stand and how each of these elements affects the choices we make for our future. This is not a judgmental exercise. There is no good or bad, right or wrong, success or failure. This is merely recognizing where we, as individuals, are as we begin the process of charting our path forward.
