To enjoy life more from your 50s onwards. I am starting this note.

"Is it okay to just keep going like this?"

Have you ever thought about that since turning 50?

Child-rearing has settled down, and I have a little more time for myself.

I am used to my work, and the milestone of retirement is gradually coming into view.

That is precisely why,

"What should I do to enjoy the rest of my life more?"

I imagine many people find themselves thinking about this more often.

Nice to meet you.

I am Nao, the author of "Nao's Life Compass."

Having worked in sales for over 30 years, I am also someone who thinks about "the rest of my life."

I want to create more free time.

I want to travel a lot with my spouse.

I want to stay healthy and enjoy life for a long time.

I want to reduce financial anxiety and have more room in my heart and time.

With these thoughts in mind, I have learned about investing, become health-conscious, utilized AI, and taken on new challenges.

Through that process, I have felt one thing strongly.

Life changes more through the accumulation of small choices than through big decisions.

Daily habits.

How you handle money.

Who you spend your time with.

Where you travel to.

What you learn, and what you decide to stop doing.

I believe that each of these choices gradually changes your life a few years down the road.

That is why I started this note.

What I want to value in this note is not to tell you the "correct answer."

I believe what is important is finding the "choices that suit you."

Everyone has different values and environments.

Therefore, rather than telling you "this is the correct answer," I want to share content that allows us to think together about options that will enrich your life.

In this note, I will cover:

・Asset building and investing from your 50s

・Life planning with an eye on retirement

・Travel for couples who have finished raising children

・Health building and daily habits

・Ways to create time by utilizing AI

・How to engage with people, learned through 30 years of sales

I will share my experiences—what I have practiced, learned, and sometimes failed at—just as they are.

I am not writing this because I have special knowledge.

In the same way, I want to think together and move forward together with those who are also considering their retirement or their second act in life.

I will be writing with that sentiment in mind.

If this note can be, for you,

"I didn't know there was this way of thinking."

"Maybe I'll give it a try."

I would be very happy if it leads to such a small step.

You only live once.

That is precisely why I want to make the time ahead more enjoyable and richer.

I hope this note can become a small compass that illuminates your life.

I look forward to your company from here on out.

See you next time. May your life's compass point a little further forward today as well." 🧭🐷
