How Making a Photographic Masterpiece Relates to the Creation of Your Future Lifestyle
Grand art born of great, visionary artists often arises from a spontaneous idea, an image in the mind’s eye. The evolution of an idea that culminates in a tangible work of art, whether a painting or a photograph of a spectacular landscape, requires a blending of grand vision and the execution of exceptional technique.
Similarly, in order to create a masterpiece that will be your new lifestyle, you must imagine a clear vision of your future before you begin to create it. The path to doing so is to prepare yourself by creating and executing a realistic Post Career Lifestyle Plan that will guide you to making your new life an exuberant reality.

Your Transition Is a Stimulus for Personal Development and Fulfillment
Summary:
There are two words that are sometimes used interchangeably when discussing the End of Career as though they have the same meaning: change and transition. However, these two words have different meanings and what they describe have distinctly different purposes.
Lessons Learned in My Journey
My personal experience with change and transition illustrates this point. Years ago, I was diagnosed with colon cancer and then developed other medical problems. Together they created a change that ended my Plastic Surgery career and triggered my End of Career Transition. Thankfully, years later I am cured, renewed and fulfilled in my new career.
My Transition did not occur spontaneously. It was the result of sustained, focused and deliberate effort over a period of time. That effort was directed at a particular...
