Reinventing Midlife: How to Find Purpose Beyond Your Paycheck

Your career isn’t (right now) going anywhere.

You need it to meet your family and financial obligations.

So the question becomes:

How do you live a purpose-driven, meaningful, and fulfilling life when most of your time, energy, and attention is focused on a career that provides little or nothing of what you seek?

These 6 midlife reinvention tips will get you started:

1. Reframe

Here’s the best way to kill your dreams and purpose:

Believing your dreams and purpose must immediately replace your salary dollar for dollar.

Your career becomes an obstacle to moving toward your purpose when you believe this.

Your career isn’t an obstacle to pursuing your dreams and purpose; it’s a conduit to them.

Your salary provides financial security to explore your dreams and purpose — but only when you reframe your thinking to embrace this.

2. TEA

You must get crystal clear on where you’re investing your TEA (time, energy, and attention).

You need to know where time is going to get you where you want to go.
