I'm a physician in my mid-50s and suddenly finding myself at a loss to find the right purpose to go on.

When you're younger and you're trying to build your career, make sure you have the right amount in your nest egg.

raising children making sure that they turn into productive citizens all of that might sound hard but you have this inbuilt purpose and you don't have to make a new purpose on a daily basis to feel that you're not just merely surviving but you're actually thriving and

And suddenly I found myself at that point where my children are turning into productive citizens.

They don't need me anymore.

They're in their mid-twenties.

I am doing well in my career and yet find myself...

lacking in something so deep-seated that it's hard to express?

How does one find a new purpose?

How does one find something new, something meaningful, something that's beyond oneself?
