How to Find Deeper Purpose in the Second Half of Life

Even If You're Unsure Where to Start

Standing at life's crossroads... as the big 5-0 looms large on your horizon?

Here’s another reader sharing her experience.

===

I turned 50 in January and am in the midst of some possible changes in my vocation, my children are transitioning to adulthood, and I hope to grow closer to my aging parents before they pass.

I want to know that I didn't waste the first half of my life. I struggle with being hard on myself about that.

What can I do?

===

My answer?

During the first half of life, our days are spent designing and confirming our identity,

learning order,

following rules,

seeking importance,

hoping to belong to the right groups,

obtaining degrees,

creating wealth,

finding a partner, having children, etc.

The first half of life is very self-centered, in other words, ego-driven—and necessarily so. It's all about acquisition, certainty, order, and upward mobility.

But that's to get you started.

In the second half of life, once you've created your ego structure, you finally have the courage to ask:

What is this all for?

What am I supposed to do with this?

Is there some deeper purpose?

And this is where the struggle for my reader, and I daresay for most of us, comes.

The search for meaning is the task of the second half of life.

The answer to meaningful living is very different for each of us.

This isn't about ego's trophies... It's about soul-deep satisfaction.

But this usually resides in our unconscious minds, which starts being progressively louder as we enter the second half of life.

That's where I step in.
