A decade or more into our adult lives, many of us realise we’ve taken the wrong path – that we’ve been chasing the wrong dream or career or type of partner. Perhaps bereavement, illness or unemployment have transformed our notions of what matters and what doesn’t, and how we’d like to spend the rest of our days.
If you reached such a turning point and succeeded in making the second act of your adult life happier and more fulfilling than the first, we’d love to hear from you. What was your life like before that big change, and what is it like now? What triggered the transformation? And what advice would you give to anyone in a similar situation?
