How do you find your purpose after 40?

Finding purpose after 40 doesn't always mean discovering one massive lifelong mission. Your purpose can be found in the season you're living right now, the people who need you, the responsibilities calling you, the problems you're uniquely equipped to solve, and the contribution you're capable of making.

Your purpose might be rebuilding your health, repairing your marriage, raising your children, caring for aging parents, mentoring another man, building a business, or serving someone who needs your strength.
