In our book, Third Calling: What are you doing the rest of your life?, we propose we need an entirely new model for this season and adventure we call aging. We implore individuals, and our entire generation, to consider a Third Calling!
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
–Richard Buckminster Fuller, Architect and Inventor
The Premise:
Long life is a gift from God, to be stewarded with wisdom and imagination. Every mature person must discover his or her unique design, passion and purpose in life and follow their Third Calling.
The Participants:
Third Calling people are those who are willing to move, to dance. They aren’t afraid to follow and they are not timid to lead. They are ready to boogie.
Third Calling people are leading-edge Boomers. They are the “Do-Bees,” kids of the 50s and 60s, revolutionaries, and some hippies. They are called to something more than a life of only play and leisure; they are ready to change the world.
Third Calling people are people of faith. They believe in God, his mission and his people.
