Over 50 Life Purpose

Did You Discover Your Life’s Purpose By 50 years old?

When we think about our life progressions, by the time we reach 50 years old, we have spent most of our lives, working to create a life that will sustain us as we are aging. Thinking about how we might have let our first 50 years slip away, without finding out about our life purpose, brings questions to our minds.

For those first 50 years, our adventure period, it was the period of learning how life on this planet functions. It is a time of discovering more about ourselves; and, for some of us, we found opportunities that advanced us financially to who, and where we wanted to be financially , as we found successful ways to earn our living.

Our Lives Before 50

For most of us, setting up our lives includes deciding where we will live, who we will live with, and how will we afford to live the way we want to live. These are big decisions and we, hopefully, made them with a career path that made sense to us, at least at the time.

Following Our Hearts or Financial Security?

We were shown just by our surroundings that “the aging road” we are travelling upon, is a scarey one. From what was shown on our television sets, and promoted through all our media, we did not see a sense of aging as a feeling of security and prosperity to come. From all we saw around us, it appeared that once we hit 50 years old, we had better have arrangements for our aging process made, in order to live comfortably tomorrow.

For most of us, medical insurance, retirement, financial stability, and all of “life’s possibilities” were important to be covered before we could look closer at our personal, “heartfelt rewards”. If we were able to incorporate those personal desires into the building of our career, we were one of the “lucky ones” in this game of preparation for the future.

Our Experience, Skills, and Knowledge are very valuable.

By the time we reach our 50th Birthday, we have seen many before us, lose their jobs to the younger set and it seems their achievements have become less valuable in the workforce. This is especially something we see happen with larger businesses. We recognized warning signs that, because of “our potential aging illnesses”, “perceived loss of abilities or attractiveness”, actual loss of jobs, and, “possible loss of hair”, we must always be preparing for our period of what I have heard termed, “Our Period Of Invisibility”.

We seemed to have little time to think things like, “What is My Life’s Purpose”, before we actually reached the “over 50” set.

Personally, I always had a an idea of “My Life’s Purpose”. I knew when I was only thirteen years old. There are things in our lives, that just begin to appear to us, and, after a while, your heart tells you the truth. When you discover “the truth”, you take a closer look at your life, what you are doing, and how you truly feel in your heart. That is when you begin to recognize, that “we are” or “are notLiving Our Purpose. (You might also be at a place of looking at “we were” or “we were not” Living our Purpose. )

There Is A Reason We Are Here! Is It Our “Over 50 Life Purpose”?

Did You Know That???

According to AARP.org:

  1. “There are 108.7 million folks age 50-plus. This includes 76.4 million boomers (born 1946-64), compared with 49 million Gen Xers and 82 million millennials.”
  2. “Moreover, people 50-plus will continue to grow over the next decade to the tune of 19 million, vs. a growth of only 6 million for the 18-49 population.”

Over 50 Life Purpose” ?

We are seeing many things in need of change all around us today. Looking at our lives from our “Over 50” perspective, we see much differently than we did in those younger years. Life, itself, has made changes in our perspectives. Take time to look at your life again. By now, hopefully, you have attained some of your goals. Other goals, may have been forgotten or just not pursued to fruition yet.

With our numbers like what we see above, it appears that by working together we can achieve positive goals. This website is for all of us that have Job or Career Goals to discover the connections to Pursure Their Dreams. No matter who we are our work is an important part of our life’s legacy.

Following our hearts, just might lead us into a mentoring, coaching, training or entrepreneur situations of helping others. Our hearts can help us discover our next career builder goal. Our next Career Builder goal, just might be our new and improved,“Over 50 Life Purpose”. Our Life Purpose at 20-30 did not incorporate all the knowledge and experience we possess now. Re-thinking, and re-evaluating in order to find that next move, takes effort, along with an open-mind, and desire to really discover the answers.

Where Will Our New “Over 50 Life Purpose” Take Us?

I personally believe that the numbers of older people are high and growing, because we need them. Knowledgeable individuals, willing to work to create the changes we desire to see in this world are needed today. Many of us understand that our education system has been lacking for many years.

Our skilled labor force is something that we have been reading about and that President Trump has made a priority for our society. There are many other aspects of our youth’s education, including many life skills, that should be addressed for our young. Skilled labor jobs are in demand today. Emphasis has been placed on university education, but these jobs are getting harder to find for our younger generations.

Skilled Labor Jobs Are In Demand

Baby Boomers and Older Generations have lived through work experiences, skill training, job ups/downs, and have knowledge that today cannot be replicated, because of the way our society functions.

I personally, put myself through my own Career-Builder experiences at about 60 years old, I plan to share more soon. I called it My Career Builder Plan 2.
