At the same time, I want to prepare myself by creating on my own domain, create the spot leadership elsewhere, so that I'm not pouring everything as I have for the previous 16 years of my life into something somebody else owns. So what I need help with, I have this really great opportunity coming up to give a two minute speech and to lead people into thinking about me in certain ways, or thinking about the topic, topics I want to be known for.______________________Resources______________________For more podcast stories from After 40 with Dr. Deborah Heiser, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/after-40-podcastWatch the The Right Side of 40 playlist on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllRiYCWyyhoLJqyUE0ERuMfdITSPmagazine YouTube Channel:📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!

Host: Dr. Deborah HeiserOn ITSPmagazine  👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/deborah-heiser-phd______________________Episode SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network______________________Episode IntroductionGenerativity is a life stage posited by developmental psychologist Erik Erikson. In this life stage, we can expect personal fulfillment, legacy, and personal growth. We are drawn to give back to others in such ways as volunteering, mentoring, and philanthropy. Those of us who do not engage in Generativity can expect to be in Erikson's stage of Stagnation. The example I give of this is what I call The Ebineezer Effect. Having all the things life can physically offer us, but without experiencing the emotional joy to accompany it. It wasn't until Ebineezer Scrooge, who was a self-made guy, living in a mansion with servants, gave back, that he experienced joy.
