Navigating the second half of your life is one of the Grand Life Operathreats. Depending upon how you respond the second half may turn out quite different, more meaningful and more satisfying than the first half. Or it could be a threat with the second half of your life mourning the loss of your role as a leader in the first half of your life and searching for meaning in less valuable activities.
Moving into the second half of life requires three elements. The biggest one is letting go of important things from the first half of your life. Items that if not abandoned will become barriers or anchors. Next is the courage to step into the unknown. This can be a time of confusion, ambiguity and uncertainty. Invariably this involves into one of the more creative times of your life where you learn new things, set new priorities and adopt significant new values and activities.
This may be a time of reclaiming childhood dreams which were set aside for adulthood and work. It may involve entirely new dimensions that you have never considered, but lay deep inside your being. Embarking on this adventure helps you avoid one of the great errors when parents try to live there un lived life through their children.
A guide who has crossed this no man’s land into the second half of life can be an invaluable fulcrum leveraging your transformation.
