Midlife is a Chrysalis, Not A Crisis—Chip Conley On Why Life Gets Better With Age
The Rich Roll Podcast
Finding Meaning and Impact in Midlife
Midlife often brings a crisis of meaning for successful individuals, leading to a reflective period where they question their contribution to the world. This phase is a transitional period, prompting a reevaluation of identity and values. It's a time when people shift from defining themselves by achievement, image, status, and power to focusing on what will survive them. This involves a shift towards legacy-driven priorities, such as impacting others through mentorship, community activism, or contributing to the well-being of future generations. This shift in perspective often leads individuals to prioritize serving others and making a meaningful impact, rather than focusing on ego or financial gains. Midlife wisdom schools are proposed as a necessary resource to help individuals discover and develop their gifts and find depth in what is important to them. Ultimately, the purpose of life is to find one's gift, develop it, and give it away, making an impact that matters the most to the individual.
