So you’re nearing 50 or you’ve just slipped past and you’re wondering – Is this it?
Is this all there is? You’ve been working forever, well it seems like it and where has that got you?
What happened to the dreams, the imagination, the thoughts conjured up in your childhood
The enthusiasm, expectation and excitement of your teens or the intrigue of your twenties
As you settled into life, worked the hours, built the income and changed focus
Yes there it is, that imperceptible change of focus, innocuous, unobtrusive but oh so damaging
As you step into the thirties, already entrenched in the narrative, knee deep in alligators
There appears nowhere to go but to continue to do what has become your norm, your mediocre
Satisfying all around you but not you – Not the nagging that pulls away at you
Try as you do to ignore it, it’s there shaking you to wake up, to reignite the flame of youth
To actually step out and do what you believe to do with your life – to live it your way
Unique, unfettered a life of your design on your terms, no one else’s, after all whose life is it?
You push away the unrest, set it aside to continue on with no apparent end but retirement.
In your quiet times you search, deeply within, knowing there’s something missing
And then somewhere between forty and fifty you realise your own mortality
That life is passing you by and your reaching a point where, there’s more behind than in front
What do you do, continue? – That’s sensible, it’s safe, it’s commendable it’s what people do.
But – Are you those people
To settle back for the second half longing for a time when you can live as you desire.
Knowing that settling comes at a cost, yes a pension perhaps, but what about purpose?
Where’s the meaning, the fulfilment, the desire for more, to achieve, to give back, to make a difference
Wasn’t that the plan right from the start, wasn’t that the dream, to impact the world with your uniqueness
To run the race and at the end, the finish line, look back and say it was enough, I’m done!
Can you do that? Or are you still searching, still believing that there really is more to life
A purpose that will fill you, giving you your own version of success, significance,
You see you can dream, you can search, you can wonder and do no more
Living a life of mediocrity for fear of losing even that
Or as you step into this stage of life
Choose to pivot, release what is no longer serving you
Find that purpose and the success, significance, legacy that define it and a way to fund it
Then produce your own Masterpiece, that life by your design,
Forgetting all that is past you stretch forward to something greater.
Is it your time to move beyond the routine, reignite those dreams, and shape a life that’s truly yours.
Don’t wait for retirement or ‘someday.’ There is a way to start Now
I’d love to show you how…
