What contribution do you want to make?

What exactly do you want to contribute to most now? What issues concern you the most? Where do you feel your natural gifts and talents can make the most difference in the world? Do you want to help children learn, feed the elderly, or help others with their financial problems?

The choice is yours. There are countless opportunities and choices to make in how we’ll spend our time during the second half of our lives.

Each choice we make will bring change and energy into our lives, while attracting what we are seeking. Examine for a moment how easy it has been thus far, to work only at thankless and unfulfilling jobs. Each new lackluster job just leads to the next, and so on.

This is your time to shine, and share your natural gifts with the world. Contributing in the areas of your life that interest you most is the best way to live an authentic second half. Where exactly do you want to contribute now? What is most important to you?

What does your list of "most important" look like? Family, health, developing products, painting, helping families in need, travel?

You need to make an honest reassessment of what is most important in your life now. If you are like most people, before 40 this list was driven largely by external expectations. Now this needs to be an internal list driven by what you are most passionate about. What does your list look like?

Can you think of how you might align your life’s work around what is most important to you right now?

Notice, I said your life’s work. This is the difference between JUST a job and a vocation. When your work reflects what is most important to you, you never need to re-tire (get ready to be tired) — your life’s work stays with you until you stop breathing.

What could you do in your second half of life for as long as you are breathing? Answering this question will change the way you think about your life and your work. How do you feel about you?

Notice your feelings about you. Take a step back, and in your mind’s eye, re-examine yourself from a distance. What do you notice? What do you love most about you? What areas would you like to change, and why? If you know the why, you can always figure out the "how" part later. The way you feel about yourself will have an impact on your emotions, which will impact on your thoughts, and on your body, right down to your individual cells. Those around you will feel the impact as well. Continue to focus on the areas you are most proud of, and make a commitment to change the areas that cause you some concern.

The better you feel about yourself, the better everyone else around you will look as well. As a result, you will attract more of what you seek in your life. Have better brain synapses

Have you noticed that when you think a thought, you immediately start to think other, similar thoughts? Most of the time, we think a negative thought and then, before we know it, we start thinking more, similar negative thoughts. This is how the brain works.
