Life After 60: Why Longing Still Matters

Описание: What happens when you reach your 60s and realize you still long for more?

In this Thrive Thursday reflection, I explore the quiet ache many of us feel later in life — the desire for purpose, growth, creativity, love, or meaning — and why that longing is not something to suppress or feel embarrassed about.

As we become more aware of our mortality, it’s easy to wonder:

Is it too late to begin something new?

Shouldn’t I be “content” by now?

Why do I still want more?

But what if longing isn’t a sign of failure — what if it’s a sign of life?

In this video, we talk about:

Emotional exhaustion that comes from unfulfilled dreams

Reinvention after 60

Creativity and purpose in later life

Faith, hope, and the courage to keep circling what matters

How mortality can clarify, not diminish, desire

If you are navigating life after 60 and wondering what still belongs to you, this conversation is for you.

Your longing is not foolish. It is formative.
