Part 5/8:
Shelly criticizes the conventional idea of retirement as a period of withdrawal. She shares her own experience of trying retirement during the pandemic, which she found unfulfilling. Instead, she advocates for a life filled with purpose and continuous activity, treating life as a game—scoring progress, learning, and growing.
Her perspective underscores that life's purpose isn’t confined to a job or career but is about engaging in activities that bring joy and meaning. She suggests making life into a playful pursuit, where success is measured by self-improvement and enjoyment.
