Part 6/9:
Midlife can be viewed as a turning point where individuals confront questions that shake the very foundation of their being: Who am I beyond my achievements? What do I truly want? These questions stem from a realization that the external world cannot fulfill the internal void.
Jung's concept of "individuation" encapsulates this process—a journey from ego to self, integrating all parts of who we are. To initiate this transformation, we must break free from the comfort of old patterns, allowing ourselves to embrace the unknown instead of clinging to a rigid identity.
This courageous shift is not merely about losing what once was, but about opening the door to a new beginning where life after 40 is not an end, but a renaissance—a period of rediscovery and renewal.
