By now all of the retirees would have attained the
pinnacle of success in their life’s ambition and career or at the very least
approaching that apex. Figuratively speaking, you have arrived at your
rooftop. This is the opportune time to
view your life from that acme. Reflect on how you got here, the struggles, the
challenges, lessons learned, triumphs and failures. If you had a chance to
do it over, would you change anything, what and why?
The view
from the rooftop should encapsulate your entire life experiences. The
opportunity should provide insight into what made you and created your legacy. For
posterity you are encouraged to chronicle your life’s journey to date, as you
continue to write the remaining chapters. Record your story in written form, as
opposed to oral form where versions change and become unrecognizable as time
goes by. When you write the narrative, facts cannot be distorted or
misrepresented. From the rooftop view I cannot over emphasize the need to
record everything. Perhaps if my ancestors had reduced their stories to writing,
today I would be able to share with you some of them. Save for a single aged
document evidencing one relative took an offspring to Court for land, all other tales are
word of mouth accounts that lends to innuendo and propaganda. Be the author and share your view from the roof.
