Your Life Purpose Has No Expiration Date

Have you ever felt that time flies and that, without realizing it, you are in a new stage of life wondering what your purpose is? What are I doing here? It's something that happens to all of us, and it's normal. Today I want to talk to you about that, about how our "for what" changes and evolves as we turn birthdays.
At 20: The world is a party
¿Do you remember the 20? That time of inexhaustible energy, of giant dreams and the feeling that everything is possible. It's time to explore, to make mistakes, to try a thousand things and some come to discover who we really are, others live the script that their family and school, society have defined for them. It is normal to feel a little lost or dizzy to wonder if I am taking the route that goes with you, but that uncertainty is part of the adventure, it is enjoyed and almost always without fear of taking risks because there is a certain feeling that it is over there.... . For some young people, the purpose of enjoyment is to get to know the world around them from their vision of the world.
At 40: The crisis of 40 or the opportunity for reinvention
Ah, the 40! An age of maturity, experience and, sometimes, a small existential crisis. It is time to look back, to evaluate what we have achieved and to ask ourselves if we are where we want to be. To really discover who we are. Are we following our true path or are we simply carried away by the current and the role that our family and society defined in our youth was what corresponded? That question can stay in the professional and in relationships as well as at this point in life some go through moments of inspiration, they feel a call contributing to friends community something of themselves.
For them my message Don't be afraid to change course, to look for new passions and to reinvent yourself. It's never too late to start again! However, never do it without looking deeply and humiliating everything you have around you and giving it the value it has and that over time it can still increase: loyalty, affection, opportunity. Look inside, ask yourself what you give to the world as a human being apart from being a supplier and consumer.
At 60: The golden age, the other opportunity
And we reached 60. An age with a little more wisdom, for some of fullness and with the desire to take the opportunity to share with their family and the community. It's time to spend time with our loved ones and to look for new ways to use the tempo, one of them can be to contribute to the world. Can you imagine that retirees would apply to the communal councils of their neighborhood, that they would support the ph where they live for decision-making😁, they will associate themselves with non-profit foundations not only with their time but with their knowledge, reaching more people the benefits 💕?
Keep this in mind in your life what for some something is worth little or nothing for others represents a treasure🦋

Of all the above as a final reflection: The purpose of life for each of us regardless of age is to live what corresponds to us, which can be vibrant with your personal touch towards the world towards the community, the family, making a difference in your environment, it does not have to be something notorious, sure if it is cumulative in time that will return in personal satisfaction that no one can take away from you 🦋.
The purpose of life is not a destination, but a journey. A journey that changes and evolves as we change and evolve. Don't be afraid to explore, experiment, make mistakes and start over. Life is a wonderful adventure and each stage has its own charm!
Life always has space for a new expansion 🦋🦋
