What is the point of my life?
This or a similar question can occur at any time in life but is most common when we hit our forties. Prior to that we were busy trying to fit into the roles that our parents or teachers or society had mapped out for us.

This was usually to get a good education, get a job or learn a skill, then get a partner, build a home and have a family, and work hard to generate the money to pay for all the above.

By the time you are in your late forties, these jobs are largely done. Then you may have thoughts like ‘Is this all there is to my life?’

Be fair to yourself!  You have done a very important job. You have taken care to repopulate the planet by replacing yourself.  Thus you have insured continuation of the human species.

However you are only in your forties! Modern life expectancy suggests you have another forty to fifty years ahead of you?

What are you going to do with all that time? You can occupy yourself with grandchildren or pursue your career.

Unfortunately grandchildren grow up and careers can fail to satisfy beyond a certain level. You will then be left the same question and feeling of something missing in your life.

Could it be this is the time when your Spirit is starting to call out to you?
