What if this is it?

What if people are done listening to me? What if nobody wants the advice that comes from a woman 60+? What if I'm done....?

These thoughts started to sneak in when I was about 63.

I was tired. Around me, a brigade of 50+ women rose up like The Wild Hunt, strong, breaking free from a life where they hadn’t had much to say. But omg, they do now!

And I? I had done that exact same thing 15 years ago. I led a huge group of midlife women who wanted SO much more from life. My mantras for the last 16 years have been: There is no “one-size-fits-all.” “Don’t follow other people’s 10 steps.” I helped people raise their vibration using the Archetypes, and I trademarked “Business Comes From Within!”

And now, everybody and their mom is talking about this, and I have been SO bored with it. I was DONE!

I felt a strong pull towards something else. That something else was not “breaking free from something I could no longer tolerate.” And it sure wasn’t a pull towards retirement! No, it was a longing for a NEW purpose. A purpose different from the change I felt in my 40s. And very different from the purpose I felt in my 50s.

I just knew one thing very clearly: I was NOT done! I was NOT stepping down! I still had things to do and places to be. And I definitely still had things to say. A voice. A message. It just wasn’t as one-dimensional as the one I learned I had to utilize in my 50s in order to be heard and chosen in business.

NEW • NEW • NEW

It didn’t come as a huge breakthrough or a big AHA. It emerged slowly, deeper and deeper, as a knowing from my innermost self: I need to bring ALL of me!

ALL the teachings in business, both what I have taught and what I have been taught, have been about niching down. Sharing ONE thing. ONE line. ONE thought. It has gone against everything inside of me. I’ve been thinking… but MY people can hold more than one thought. MY people are like this themselves. They are creative minds. They love to merge a well of different things into their own expression of them.

I had my brain scanned

I once had a brain scan with an instrument that registered brain pulses. I was asked about 50 questions that I had to answer quickly, without thinking much. There were typical left-brain and right-brain questions. We now know that the left side is more analytical and logical, and the right side is the more creative. And the best way to use the brain is to use both parts about 50/50.

I had a weird result. My brain also fired on the right side for left-brained questions. So for about half of the logical questions, I solved them using the right side of my brain. In other words, I solved the problems creatively.

I’ve been wondering ever since whether maybe MY people, MY clients and followers, solve problems the same way, and are more right-brain users than 50/50. That would explain A LOT! And it would indicate that we’re not operating in the world the same way as left-right-brain thinkers, no matter how much Human Design we study.

It made me wonder whether we use strengths from other Gene Keys to solve a specific challenge. For instance, if my challenge is the shadow of Gene Key 64, whether I automatically solve it using the strength from Gene Key 63. This is a matter for another day, though… and maybe a completely useless question.

However… my point… We are NOT stepping down after 60. We just need NEW purpose. NEW direction. NEW meaning. We CRAVE NEW!

So what could be more natural than to return to my original skill of helping people find that purpose? To help them discover their inner strengths and talents and put them to use in a different way, now that we have all this wisdom and insight that we didn’t have just 10 years ago.

Please, do not quit!

You still have purpose after 60. Heck, you may have MORE purpose after 60. What do you think? Are you reading to step down, pull back and call it a day?

Or do you feel you need a NEW purpose, like I did? Or do you have a feeling that you need to change the direction of your purpose?
