It took me a couple of years to find new goals. I'd just kept myself asking over and over again "now what" and one day I had the answer. I don't really know where the answer came from, but it came. Now I am enjoying the journey on my way to my new goals. Once achieving the goal was the important thing; now it's the journey towards the goal that seems more important. Now I feel I've been there, done that. It's not so much about doing as about being.Maybe that's a luxury being older brings.

I think you are right in the fact that each individual person needs to have the question answered for themselves, or else they will not grab a hold of the answer or believe it. Personally, I am not even close to my middle age although, if I knew tomorrow was my last day, I feel that I have spent my life living out my purpose. I've been so blessed and I feel that I have been able to pass that long. I couldn't ask for more in my life. :) Thanks for sharing. You have very deep thoughts on this topic here.
