Love Yourself
February 18, 2026
To truly love and take care of others, one must be able to love and care for themselves. This could include engaging in activities that make you happy or spending time reflecting on your own needs and wants, with an understanding of what is truly important to you.
Most of our time is spent caring about our friends, families and issues in society; but what is it that we want? What would make us feel loved and cared for?
To live our best lives, we must focus on ourselves first. What do we envision our ultimate retirement to look like? What is the legacy we want to leave behind and be remembered by?
Through lifetime planning, we can engage in resources that will provide us with the life we want to live and offer clarity on how we want to be cared for.
Consider the following as you think about what it is you want to achieve:
Annuities are one way to carve out the lifestyle you want in retirement. They offer a wide range of features and benefits that provide you with the flexibility to choose how and when you want to spend your assets. Annuities can also offer protection of your assets and generate an income stream throughout your golden years; therefore, safeguarding your future by helping ensure you won’t outlive your assets.
Estate Planning will ensure your wishes and intentions are carried through during your lifetime and throughout the legacy you plan to leave behind. Estate plans consist of documents such as a Will, Trust, Beneficiary Designations and Guardianships. These documents will help protect your assets and personal property, providing you with the confidence that you will leave the legacy you intended.
In addition, a comprehensive estate plan will incorporate a Living Will and Powers of Attorney. A Living Will is a document detailing your medical wishes should you become incapacitated. Powers of Attorney can be one or more person(s) you designate to make medical and/or financial related decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. These documents will ensure the care you provide to others will be returned to you in the care you want to receive.
Living your best life will allow you to express your love to those around you. It is when we are at our happiest that our truest self can be shared with others.
