One thing that many people are starting to recognize is the unfair structure of their lives. We say many instead of all because there are some people who live a life of purpose from the beginning. We want to address the fact that you went to school and got an education that you or your parents chose.

After that was done, you went into the workforce and may still be working at a job that will have you retiring in 10 or 15 years. Many people stop working at ages 65 or 67, and then pass the time until that final bell rings. Perhaps they may regret their choices and spend a lot of their retirement playing the “what if I had done this different” game.

Many things can happen when you choose to reinvent yourself after age 50. You can reinvent how you exercise and eat. You might change the negative mindset you have had for many years. All three changes can add many more years to your life.

If you are not sure of how a negative mindset can affect your lifespan, remember that stress can be a killer, and it comes from carrying a negative mindset.

It is essential to stop looking back on your past and getting upset because you went to work instead of writing that novel that would have propelled you to fame and fortune. You should look back, but only to look at your "story" and the times you turned a so-called failure into a success. This will show you common threads that happened throughout your life that will help you in the idea of reinventing yourself.

An idea that many people do not consider is "making sure" to do the things you need to do to live until you are 100 or beyond. Ask yourself what you could accomplish if you did this.

As you reinvent yourself you will constantly be learning, which will improve your brain health and help to ward off cognitive decline. We know that reinventing yourself after age 50 means making significant changes in your health and mindset.

The goal of this challenge is to get you on the right track to reinventing yourself. One central idea crucial to your success is the idea of purpose.

You will discover your purpose, and when you hit age 100, you will be able to reflect on having lived many of your years with a clear and definite purpose.

Note: The idea of living to 100 may seem out of the question, but if you look at different cultures, you will see some where people live a very purposeful life to 100 and beyond. It can happen if you do the right things like reinventing yourself.

We will start the challenge by having you decide on your life priorities. This will engage your mind and help you to be creative during the entire challenge.
