I don't understand your initial question. I don't need to benefit myself, so I'm not looking for such. I already have everything I need, so am looking for opportunities to continue benefiting others, even though I don't need to for money anymore. I'm wondering if the lack of money is the prime motivator for making the effort to get one's gifts out to people. Or in the absence of that, why not just lie in the hammock or stroll tree-lined streets most of the day?

But I am flirting with the idea of essentially doing just that and waiting for something to really move me from within. Perhaps I don't feel the propulsion to follow through on any significant service projects right now because there isn't one I should be doing yet. I'm only a couple years into retirement. That's not much downtime after 30 years of working. We shall see. Thanks for your comment.
