Save more for retirement. Increase contributions to retirement accounts such as your 401(k) or IRA. Make an effort to reach out to long-lost friends or former colleagues whether it’s a message on social media, an email or a phone call to catch up. Become a mentor. Set savings goals. Reduce debt. Let go of grudges.

The other offers me an unsolicited assignment to write about the relationships that formed after a retired soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder sent his Purple Heart to a NASCAR driver. I call Pat, a salesman friend who has been an invaluable mentor to me.

I’m always amazed when I meet someone in the workplace and I ask them what their goals are for the next year or I talk to them about expanding their skill sets and they say to me, “I plan to coast until I retire. I think to myself, “How are you so sure everything is going to stay the same until you retire three or four years from now?”

During that time, right when I was ready to let fear hold me back from my career dreams, I got an email from my dad.

My father retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after 20 years of active duty.
