What Do You Prize Most in Mid-life?
Part 2
by Craig Nathanson

Page: 1 2

I had no intention of walking away from my responsibilities. But I had to find a way to earn an income in a more meaningful way.

Today, I have a private consulting practice, a busy speaking schedule, and a book -- all focused on helping others in mid-life discover and do what they love. Every day in my practice, I see people who are having the same emotional, professional, financial, and relationship challenges that I went through.

It wasn't easy getting here. The first few years were extremely painful. Financial stress increased, relationships were strained, and emotional stress reached all-time highs. But now, three years later, I have finally emerged with a more congruent and authentic life. I say with confidence that it has all been worth it.

The first step: Know what matters to you

If you want to find your vocational passion, it has to begin with a question: What is most important to you? This may be the most important question you will ever ask yourself. You need to look deep inside yourself to turn your vague longings into tangible goals, with real paths toward achieving them.

Once you answer the question and see the path that the answers light for you, then it's time to summon the courage to make the transition.

Matt Vande Voorde walked away from an executive position at a large bank to follow what he prized most in his life: magazine publishing. His dream was to one day publish a magazine targeted at helping people with disabilities use the Internet. Today, Matt is the proud publisher of Accessible Content Magazine.

Jim Goebelbecker was tired of long hours selling products that he didn't care about. He prized his family and nonprofit work. He also took a risk and never looked back. Today, Jim is an executive with a large nonprofit on the east coast. He works just 10 minutes away from his home.

Five steps to discover and follow your passion

Making this level of change in your life isn't an overnight process. Once you understand that a change is essential to making the rest of your life matter, you can follow this simple process to move your dreams and desires into concrete actions.

Evaluate what you want. Ask the big questions and answer them honestly. Why lie to yourself?

Envision your future. You need to visualize what you're dreaming about. Then, develop a concrete understanding of what it will take to get there.

Tune out negative feedback. Everyone will try to talk you out of doing this. Listen to yourself.

Assess your risks. Take an inventory of your assets, obligations, and health. Then, make the necessary adjustments that will minimize the impact and risk of making a major life change.

Take small steps. You don't have to quit tomorrow. You can start in small ways by doing research on your dream vocation, maybe taking a class. Or you can make small lifestyle changes to reduce your personal "burn rate."

In the end, you must give yourself permission to follow your heart. That's what I did. So did Matt, Jim, and so many others. They now jump out of bed each morning looking forward to a day of vocational passion. You can have this feeling too. First, you must decide what's really most important.
