I spend a lot of my time thinking about what I want out of life.

But lately, one question I've been asking myself is this:

What does it mean to live an Extraordinary life after 50?

For a few things I'm pondering :

• #1: What is my purpose in life - this is a question I have been wrestling with for years without coming to an answer.

• #2: How can I continuously choose to walk my way and continue to drop societal expectations that I have grown up with

• #3: How can I live a life full of energy and verve, to be curious and willing to try new things when

To wrestle with this question, a few things I am doing are:

• Reading about flow (Steven Kotler's books)

• Experimenting with minimalism (digital and physical)

• Writing using Ship30 and my journal

Because what is a midlife crisis more than a lack of direction, drive and commitment to a new way of living that better meets your needs.

But I think it'll be a while before I come to any sort of solid conclusion.

(And if you have a clear answer to this question, I'd love to hear from you.)
