I had this drive and plan.
I was going to be an attorney.
I had a whole career path planned out for myself.
And when I came out of law school and I was unable to secure a position, I ended up just letting that dream die and it stopped me from making any plans.
And I find myself kind of drifting along with my husband's plans or my parents' plans or whoever else has an idea for where their life is gonna go.
I have a job and I'm working,
but I don't feel like my life is designed.
I'm wondering, do you have any advice for somebody who is facing kind of a midlife without a design in plan, without an idea of how to design your life moving forward on best steps to take?
I had many opportunities to work with people that I really appreciated and with thousands of students over the years who I believe I've impacted in a positive way.
That said, I'm not sure that my career really was the fulfillment in my life.
And it wasn't until I retired that I discovered that there is no destination that you could call happiness, that you can't set a goal that I'm going to be happy in the future or I'm going to find my life fulfilling when I look back on it.
Rather, I've discovered that it's more of a daily journey where I spend time each day making choices that allow me to arrive at the places that give me happiness and make me feel like my life is fulfilling.
I volunteer.
I enjoy the outdoors.
I enjoy cycling.
I get outside every day.
I spend time with my family, my grandchildren, my friends.
And I do things that probably I would have never done when I was working full time and just trying to get all the tasks in my life out of the way.
I would just hope that everybody gets the chance to make the choices that make each day very happy and ultimately give them a fulfilling life.
Yeah, it's a revolution in how we look.
